[QUOTE="Archive7, post: 1038046"] I have two domains registered with GoDaddy. One domain is due today for renewal, but when I made the order, I noticed that they have added 22% to the total as taxes. I initiated a chat and I was told that GoDaddy collects taxes and send the money to the respective government!!! Link below [URL]https://il.www.godaddy.com/help/countries-in-which-godaddy-is-collecting-taxes-24731[/URL] Since I live in Israel, I will not be able to get back the taxes presumably VAT mainly. But if my registrar is located in Israel then my accountant would be able to get it back. I think this is another example of how my government tries to extract more money from "the people". Unfortunately I left this renewal to the last minute as the domain expires today. The taxes are not a big deal less than $10 for both domains, but I am really upset with this additional fee. I can understand paying tax to ICANN and have paid for years. [/QUOTE]
