Before tax.
Typically, European prices include VAT. If you remove the VAT from the Dutch price, you'd end up with about €561.
Especially when taking into account the currency conversion, it's still definitely cheaper in the US, but the difference is less exaggerated when you take taxes into account.
- indigomm 3y agoGoogles pricing doesn't make sense when you compare it to themselves. Pixel 7a: $499 or £449. At current rates, the 7a works out cheaper in the UK - it should be £480 inc. VAT. Pixel Tablet: $499 or £599. The US price for the tablet is the same as the 7a, so you would expect it to be £449 in the UK. Even if they just did a straight currency conversion and added VAT, it would be £480. So £599 is extortionate. Pixel Fold: $1,799 or £1,749. This is the one that is actually about right. It would be £1,723 on currency conversion and VAT, so £1,749 is alright. Of course there is also the cost of doing business in Europe. But the fact is that comparing Google's own product line with itself just shows that the pricing doesn't make sense.
- sofixa 3y ago> Typically, European prices include VAT Small nitpick - not typically, _always_ outside of b2b settings where they're provided with and without VAT (because depending on certain criteria, some companies don't pay VAT when buying). It's mandatory for prices to be all things included, not the American bullshit of only $300 (before this tax, that tax, "gratuity", fee for that, fee for that other thing, so actually the total is $600).
