I'm sure a billion dollar company with 5,000 employees can't find the time to include a computed "total price" column in their database for total price. Sorry,

I'm sure a billion dollar company with 5,000 employees can't find the time to include a computed "total price" column in their database for total price. Sorry, not buying it. Something being a separate line item does not mean it can't appear in the total price. You have to intentionally build a system to be that deceptive. Most non-American jurisdictions include tax in the listed price. Even AirBNB does for German customers: https://i.imgur.com/j7ot5xz.png https://i.imgur.com/j7ot5xz.png

Have you ever coded an interjurisdictional taxation system into a web sote? No, right? Try it then get back to me.

  They need to build that regardless to do business in that area. Once you have it, putting it on the map is not difficult. Again, they already do this for most other countries.

    You're missing the effing point They wouldn't unless it was legally required... And that ITS STILL A SEPARATE LINE ITEM NOT INCLUDED IN THE DISPLAY PRICE

      Look at my screenshot. For german users, the map display price is $131. That's the $81 base price plus taxes plus fees. All shown in the initial UI where it's easily understood by the user, nothing hidden.

        And yet again instead of actually addressing what is said you just keep playing a game by repeating the same argument in various forms Argumentum Ad Nauseum is generally a type of fallacious conduct Given this, you're quickly reaching the point where explicit and nearly aggressive derision is deserved

    And just to drive home the point: You are aware how challenging writing a date system is, right? Well taxes are even worse And have to be updated frequently (often more than once a year). The cost is absurd.
