Depends.

From the iTunes Music Store Customer Support page:

Tax Questions
Applicable sales tax is charged for music download purchases where required by local law. The estimated tax noted on your Music Store invoice is estimated and may not reflect actual charges. When this page was last updated, the following states charged tax on music downloads: AL, AZ, CO, CT (1%), DC, HI, ID, IN, LA, ME, NM, ND, SD, TN, TX, UT, and WA.

Funny, when I saw the topic of this thread I instantly thought that my dreams had come true and iTMS had become available in my tax-happy homeland of Canada.

And here for being an O97Bassist, I figured you'd be ordering from Texas.

I hadn't noticed before, but I'm not getting charged tax in Georgia. That's a pleasant surprise.
