Why is steam asking for my billing address?

Why does Steam ask for a billing address when I am paying for something using my Steam Wallet? It's required for tax purposes. Valve needs to remit retail taxes on whatever is sold in the store, and the amount of tax and where it's remitted to is based on the location of the customer (you).
