Apple vs Android - In-App Purchases - Tax
Hi all,
First time poster.
I am playing this app called "Puzzles and Empires" on an iPhone and Samsung Note 8.
06/26/2020 - see first image.
Device: Samsung Note 8
I purchased an in-app offer for $2.79.
Note: prior to purchase, Google stated "no tax".
After reviewing my bank charges, I was indeed charged exactly $2.79 - no concern here.

I purchased an in-app offer for $2.79.
Note: prior to purchase, Apple stated the $2.79 - no mention of tax.
After reviewing my bank charges, I was charged $3.15 - $2.79 + 13% tax (Ontario, Canada sales tax).
Can anyone shed some insight on why I was charged tax on my Apple device but not my Samsung device?
I did scour the internet but the generic comments were "intangible goods and services must be taxed".
To be clear, I'm not disputing paying taxes. I am inquiring about why I am only charged taxes on certain Operating Systems.
Thank you in advance!
