You're a little off with the UK prices.
The US price, pre-tax, for the base 15" model is $2399. At whatever Google thinks is the current exchange rate, that's £1948.43 GBP. Add 20% VAT and it's on the shelf at £2338.12.
The UK price for this model is £10.88 more than the direct exchange rate.
- danpalmer 10y agoYou are correct, I was not accounting for VAT, I guess as the US price does _not_ include sales tax. Thanks!
- soneil 10y agoThey almost never do - US sales taxes vary by state, often city, and sometimes county. The combination of these is basically a list of tax by zipcode, so publishing them has more in common with calculating shipping than it does for us. I know it doesn't really help (I'm facing the same problem @ 21%!), but the current conversion is a lot fairer than they've been in the past.
