Tax Not Included
If there is one thing that cannot be avoided in life, it’s taxes. You pay taxes on everything. Within countries, paying taxes will vary depending on the individual provinces, states or territories. The governments decide whether to include taxes within the price of an item or service.
A great example of this is in the United States. When an Australian came to visit the U.S., they were culture shocked during a shopping experience. At checkout, they were expecting to pay the price on the tag for the item. After paying a bit more than expected, they were culture shocked to realize that the state didn’t include taxes in the price.
