I actually like this as consumers don’t care about price breakdowns. One of the biggest annoyances with consumer prices in the US is the separate price for taxes.

Many countries require net prices advertised and it’s so much simpler, both for ease of mind and for lower prices. Having $10 advertised and then 10% taxes layers on, and convenience fees, and service fees, etc sucks. I’d rather have $12 advertised and not care about all the stuff that goes into it.

It's not about having to pay it separately, but having it as a separate item on receipt.

Here, all prices are advertised after tax, but the receipt lists tax percent for each item, and amount.

A B C next to items denote tax percent, then below you have value of items with tax group "Sprzed. opod. PTU A", tax amount "Kwota A 23%", and sum of all taxes "Podatek PTU".

I don’t mind this method. In the US, typically the advertised price is base and then extras are added on afterwards.

In my order of preference I like: - your way -Apple’s way (although seems to be the way other app stores do it too) -current US way
