It's not quite so simple: don't US prices exclude sales tax? VAT in the UK's 17.5%.

  VAT is currently 15%, will rise to 17.5% again in January 2010

    Doh, yeah, right you are. Forgot about that cut.

  US retail prices for Apple products generally include taxes. Compare apple.com to apple.co.uk (or .co.ie, or .com.au, or any other country).

  15% and soon to be 17.5% is also not the exchange rate. And mind you, those boxes are not being shipped over from Redmond.
