I think it varies. In the UK and France, for example, where I have purchased from the online store the prices included relevant taxes. I believe that in the USofA and perhaps some other countries that the price shown is net of tax because the tax rate varies from state to state.
You can always go through the process of preparing an order at the Mac Online Store for your country and it should show the price together with any taxes. You don't, of course, actually have to place the order .
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong about the USA online store.
Correct Paul - in the USA, each State sets its own sales tax, so the tax is only calculated during checkout once you've entered shipping/billing information.  Even within some states, some cities have their own sales tax rate (eg. New York State is 4% but New York City is 8.875%).

  • Why is the macbook missing from Apple online store ?

    Why is the Macbook missing from the Apple Online store ? Can someone let me know what's going on ?

    Gone, *poof*.
    I miss it and I think Apple should have kept it around as it's low key machine, great for kids and adults who didn't like a lot of flash.
    Now the 13" MacBook Pro is considered the equivalent on a similar performance basis, however it has the bright silver rich looking case that draws thieves attention and really isn't a "Pro" machine at all with it's inferior low performing integrated graphics.
    Heck most $500-$800 Windows laptops are just the same in performance and has a larger 15" screen.
    If you need a anti-glare screen you have to opt for the 15" or 17" MacBook Pro and pay $50 more for the anti-glare, but it's worth it. The 13" doesn't have a anti-glare option, but we are petitioning Apple to include that option.
    I think Apple considered the MacBook as a educational computer, thus replaced it for a line of iPads which make considerable more margins and provides less hardware benefits as all the hardware features, stand, keyboard etc. are separate purchases.

  • Does the iphone selling in apple online store malaysia support tethering?

    I heard from my friend which iphone 4s my friend bought from maxis support internet Tethering.Does apple online store malaysia support it too ?

    Whether or not you can use the Personal Hotspot feature is not dependent on the phone or where it's sold, it's dependent on whether your carrier supports it and whether you subscribe to a data plan that allows tethering.
    Celcom, Digi and Maxis are the 3 supported carriers in Malaysia. According to this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937 they all support the personal hotspot feature. It will not appear until you contact your carrier and have them enable that feature on your account.

  • Why is the price of my Iphone 5s higher than the official price? I bought a 16G balck Iphone 5s in America Airport recently, and it costed me $850. I wondered are there any differences between mine and the ones sold on the apple online store?

    Recently, my friend bought me a 16G black Iphone 5s at America airport and it costed $850.
    But I really hope to know why it cost $201 more than the ones that sold on apple online store, since the consumption tax can't be that much.
    Really hope to get some help.

    I understand you have been experiencing issues with your iPhone restarting and showing you a blue screen.  I wont be able to give you an exact answer as to why this is happening.  However, this is the most relevant troubleshooting article for this issue.  This article also provides options to reach out to us via phone for additional assistance.

  • All prices in apple online store is the same in real shop in usa?

    All prices in apple online store is the same in real shop in usa?

    Under certain circumstances. Also, the prices in the online store do not include sales tax. What I mean is, that you may see the iPhone 5C advertised for $199.00. Understand that is a subsidized price, which means that is the price with a 2-year contract on the device, plus it is locked to the carrier until an individual qualifies for an unlock.

  • How can I file a formal complaint with the Apple Online Store Canada?

    I've spoken to two customer service representatives at this point about an order that I cancelled within a half an hour of placing it, as I was initially unaware that the product I purchased would not fit my sister's iPhone. As stated in the Cancelled Order portion of the following page: http://store.apple.com/ca/help/viewing_changing_orders#cancel, I should NOT have been billed for the order. I was billed last Friday and am still yet to receive the refund, despite the fact that the first rep I spoke to advised that my money would be refunded in one day. The statement on the link I provided is completely misleading, as well as the email I received stating that I would not be charged at all. Someone with Apple must amend this statement on the website and the automated emails, as it could be considered legally misleading. I will in no way be pursuing any legal action, as I don't have the time and I'm only out $90.00, but I can't imagine having purchased the MacBook that I wanted to purchase prior to this incident and going through an ordeal like this again. Can someone please advise who I should contact and where I can find their contact information please? I love the apple products that I own and would hate to discontinue my customer relationship with the company.

    Also, please remember that no refund from any store is instantaneous. They will process the refund, probably within 24 - 48 hours. After that, your bank/credit card company has to credit your account....... mine takes at least 3 business days to do so (the banks are very efficient in posting charges, but like to keep the money for a couple of days before giving it back to you - they've been doing that for years).
    Edit: I just checked their return/refunds policy and it includes this:
    Once we receive your item, a refund is initiated immediately. If you canceled a pickup item, and you were billed for it, we initiate your refund immediately after you submit your cancel request. The way your refund is processed depends on your original payment method:
    If you paid by credit or debit card, refunds will be sent to the card-issuing bank within five business days of receipt of the returned item. Please contact the card-issuing bank with questions about when the credit will be posted to your account.
    Products purchased from the Apple Online Store using an Apple Store Gift Card will be refunded to you as an Apple Store Gift Card by email within 3 business days. If you’d like us to mail you an Apple Store Gift Card, ask the representative helping you. You will receive it within 8 business days via United States Postal Service (USPS). If you purchased an item from the Apple Online Store and are returning it to an Apple Retail Store, you'll receive an Apple Store Gift Card by email within 3 business days.
    Note that it states it will be initiated immediately, but  will be sent within 5 business days.
    Read the entire policy here:

  • "There was a problem communicating with the Apple Online Store. Please try again."

    When I try to order prints on my Macbook I get the error .... "There was a problem communicating with the Apple Online Store. Please try again."  I've gotten this error for a few days.  When I try the same thing with my wife's Macbook Pro there are no issues.  How do I fix the problem on m Macbook?

    I found the problem thanks to some help given.
    Go to iPhoto menu -> Preferences... -> Advanced -> > Print Products Store  was set to "none". I changed that to my own country and then it worked, I could place the order.
    Thanks a lot!

  • How do I remove my credit card information from the Apple Online Store? Not iTunes store, the online site.

    I'm trying to remove my CC information from the Apple Online Store, but it won't let me erase it. When I look for a way online, I only find information on how to erase it from the iTunes Store. Maybe the answer is right in front of me but I'm not seeing it, but some help would be much appreciated.

    Hello Spennetrator94,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning payment information. Removing the payment information from your Apple ID will remove the data from the various stores.
    Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)

    Some additional efforts you can try:
    Go to the System/Sharing preference pane and make sure Remote Apple Events is checked.
    If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.
