The Canadian sales tax can’t be applied in USD, though. If a country is applying taxes all invoices and taxes will need to be calculated in the currency of the country applying the tax.

Interesting... because DigitalOcean definitely applies canadian sales tax, and charges me in USD.

They may be doing the currency conversion as a "last step" which AWS doesn't want to handle.

Can you get a card on your US source of funds that converts to CAD for you? There may be a currency exchange fee, but some (Amex maybe?) have very good rates.
