They do in the UK and Ireland too. It's so frustrating going over to America and having to add it on yourself

I am fortunate to live in a state with no tax on clothing and shoes. And it just so happens to have some of the biggest malls in the country. YAY PENNSYLVANIA!

I think it would be bad for sales

around here tax is around 6% 6 cents per dollar can add up to some funky looking prices I thought of it as a mental thing again I also read about another reason tax changes a lot so having to manually change the price tags would be a hassle if it's kept separate the hassle is almost eliminated

I think in the event that taxes were included on the price tag, marketers would be quick to adjust their pricing to maintain regular sales. I also think it could be an effective marketing strategy. "The tag price is what you pay! No need to add up how many taxes will be on your order!"

that's true I guess I personally just would prefer they stay separate I like knowing the price of the item and then the sales tax I'm sure they could include that on the tag too maybe or that could be a bad idea

In China, how much you see on the price tag is how much you pay at the cashier, maybe U.S. should do that as well.
