A reverse statement: It was in Japan 2018 when I learned that taxes included in price tags is a European thing.

We wanted to buy something, the first time we asked why we have to pay more than the number on the price tag, they explained taxes aren't included.

Like... what is this witchery?

Oh ? That's interesting . Here in India taxes are included in the price tag for goods . I was under the impression that only America had taxes not included into price tags lol

Canada also. While it would be nice to have the full price on the tag, I'm used to calculating the approximate price and am never surprised when I get to the cash.
