Where are you buying from, and in what currency?

Do you have a screenshot of what you're seeing?

I think it's legally correct for Digital Sales to/in Texas to be charged Sales Tax on digital purchases?

I don't currently know what would have changed recently to meant that you didn't see this previously.

If that VAT logic is really applied by Matrix it should be based on the availability of an upgrade to boxed version.
Maybe the OP only bought titles that were digital only?
