  Only the US adds sales tax after the original price, everywhere else it’s included in the price on the shelf.

    Not just the US, Canada is like this too.

      Unfortunately. Should be all-in price.

  Itemized prices should already include tax.

  Total will also include tax.

  But receipts will outline how much of the total was tax.

  Doesn’t Australia include the tax in the listed price of the item instead of adding it at the end?

    Depends on what it is.

    But most raw food is tax free
