H&R Block and Intuit Lobby Against Free and Simple Tax Filing (2017)

Completely disagree that it's an exaggeration. If I walk into a supermarket in the UK, it doesn't matter if I know that certain goods are exempt or 5%, because the amount im going to pay is already considered on the sticker.

There's no excuse for the sticker price not matching in the US.

Because it is listed separately, you know which rate you're paying. Isn't it good to have more information?

I am not 100% sure I get what you meant so I apologise if I misunderstood. But are you under the impression that the tax is not listed on the receipt in other countries? (it is)

My receipts show the taxes im paying. I don't think I've ever seen the tax listed separately on the sticker in the US, so ive actually got less information. Without knowing the tax rate of the area I'm in for the goods in advance, I don't know how much I'm paying
