I just want all costs and overhead to be priced into the price of the good or service. I’d rather pay an advertised $200+tax/night for a hotel room than $150+$50 resort fee+tax/night. You’re paying the same amount in the end, but the $200 lump sum price is more honest.
I sell services and I give my customers one lump sum price, where all of my costs (including taxes), overhead, and profit are included with no gotcha fees.

Travel (hotels & car rentals) in the US are industries where the average tax rate is much, much, much higher than the standard sales tax rates for goods sold in the same location. There are all sorts of taxes at that are levied because most of the customers who pay them, don't live there and therefore can't vote against the politicians that imposed them.
- gnicholas 3y agoI’d actually want the taxes to be enumerated for hotel rooms, since the rate can be much higher than regular sales tax, and varies greatly by location. I generally assume hotel taxes will add 20-25% if it’s not shown otherwise.
