> EU countries with like—the horror!—two or three different nationwide VAT rates for different classes of products require receipts to detail the rate and amount used for each line item specifically (Assuming it's a physical store frequented by consumers) every price label on every shelf shows the price including VAT. Your EU/GB store's receipt will indeed break out the subtotal net of all VAT, the subtotal amount of VAT charged (shown broken down by different rates if that's applicable), and of course the overall total. Note that 99.9% of EU consumers only care about the price of an item including taxes, so those prices are what consumer shops display, and are the only numbers consumers look at.
