They could at least include the tax in the price. That's normally fixed depending on the item category e.g. low or high tax rate. Only the US is being weird with its taxes.

Tax is depending on where the buyer is coming from.

Canada has provincial sales taxes.

It's really not that weird when you consider the US is not a unitary state.
