I mean, as a European: have you visited the US and noticed that they don’t even include tax within the price (meaning you’ll pay more at checkout since that’s where it only appears)? It’s ridiculous, most countries include VAT within the price of their goods and services but. At least within the EU, VAT is included within the price making it final without any arithmetic.
Yes, but I’m talking about regular stores. Not the kind that you visit for office supply and such. If you’re aren’t a business owner, you never have to think about VAT.
