I'm European. What this does is that it hides the tax and people complain about price increases when the tax increases. Every single EU libertarian would prefer the US way. BTW what the heck are you doing with your tax rates that you'd have to constantly re-tag? That's completely a non-problem over here.
- freehunter 8y agoYeah if merchandise is sitting on a retail shelf long enough that the tax changes multiple times before it's sold, you need to rethink your stocking choices.
- enraged_camel 8y agoI don’t see why we can’t have both. Have one price that is the grand total, and in a smaller font, display how much of that grand total is the tax. That way people know how much the thing will cost upfront, and also know the tax amount.
- TomMarius 8y agoIn the USA, I have no idea. In the EU, politicians don't want that because that'd surely lead to a revolution, especially in the east.
- joppy 8y agoSales tax in the USA differs across states, and even across counties. So it could change fairly regularly.
- TomMarius 8y agoVAT differs wildly across EU countries, including whole different schemas of the tax. And not only that, we also speak two dozens of languages. What you're saying is simply not a problem - come and see. I've never even thought that it could be seen as a problem because the solution (don't move tags, just the product) is so obvious.
