[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 398533, member: 3889"] As I mentioned elsewhere, the U.K.'s higher prices (said to be on everything) are somewhat overstated. The VAT — value added tax, or sales tax — is included as a hidden cost in all prices. It's easier to do this in the U.K. than in North America because in the U.K. the tax is uniform. Here, the tax rates are all over the map, so they aren't included in the prices. Some jurisdictions here won't allow such taxes to be hidden, so if — more like when — they increase, everyone knows it. A more accurate price comparison could be made after the VAT rate is subtracted from the total. [/QUOTE]
