I am using the Paypal HTML API for a website. Paypal seems to be ignoring the tax field, for recurring payments.
Is this a bug? (I know it was a while back). Has anyone managed to add tax calculations to Paypal recurring payments?

You can use billing plans and subscriptions to create subscriptions that process recurring PayPal payments for physical or digital goods, or services. A plan includes pricing and billing cycle information that defines the amount and frequency of charge for a subscription.
Calculate sales tax automaticallyPayPal calculates sales taxes based on rates that you specify in your account profile. Note: Calculating sales tax is not supported for the Subscribe and Automatic Billing buttons. You can set up the following types of tax rates: Domestic (U.S. only) tax rates by state or zip code.
PayPal attempts to collect recurring payments from subscribers on the day after the previous billing cycle or trial period ends. Billing cycles can be daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, depending on the terms of the original subscription.
No monthly fees There's no monthly or startup fees. Only pay when you get paid.
It's not supported.
See Paypal HTML integration problems (sales tax not showing for recurring payment) -- it's an old question (that's incidentally displayed in the list to the right of your question; please search before asking!) but has a comment from less than a month ago that is still relevant.
It in turn links to an official thread that's years old, updated just a few months ago with:
I apologize for the misguided information that you received previously through phone support. Feature requests have been submitted up on this to see if this is something that can be added into a future release. However, I do not know if this will be something that is updated nor when this will be available. The only work around at this time, is to include all tax and shipping charges into the subscription amount.
