However, the SPG confirmation emails do remain very confusing to us non-Americans. The deposit section always states the amount excluding sales tax will be taken, but 99% of the time, sales tax is taken at the time of deposit. I've just come to accept the anomaly.
Thanks, that's very useful. ^
I would contend that, rather than being 'confusing', the wording of the confirmation email (and the on screen wording when booking) is somewhere between 'inaccurate' and 'misleading'.
Anyway, having now cancelled these reservations, recent polical at both ends of the GBP/USD conversion have swung the rate in my favour and I've actually made a few pennies profit on the transaction.
