I believe it is tax. It will be driven by your billing address.
Your VPN/location don't matter though at first the system will show you the cost in your VPN/location but once you login, it will default to your billing address.

P.S. Premium MBA Bundle allows you to buy GMAT Prep Tests 3-6 for under $72 ;-)

It looks like the tax component is getting added to the value. I see the surge is approx 18% (from 89.98 to 106) which might be a GST tax levied to the total amount - but can't say for sure as I haven't yet purchased myself.

Change your country to "Nepal" and you are golden :)

It will again revert to pre-tax figure in the payment screen.

A tax component most likely. Keep an eye out whether this happens when booking your exam or paying for an application submission fee.
