Do prices include VAT/sales tax?
Tax handling varies significantly by jurisdiction. In the European Union and United Kingdom, displayed prices must include VAT per consumer protection law dating to 2015 — the user-facing price is the final price, with VAT broken out on the receipt. In the United States, displayed prices are typically pre-tax, with sales tax added at checkout based on the billing-address state. Sales tax on digital subscriptions varies state-by-state: states currently taxing digital streams include Texas, California, Washington, Connecticut, New York, and a growing list. Australia displays GST-inclusive prices. Canada displays varying provincial tax (GST + provincial PST or harmonized HST) added at checkout.
