Yeah our prices are before sales tax.
I think partially to discourage people from "cheating" and going to somewhere cheaper to buy stuff.
I'd think other taxes probably also inflate the prices in europe however. I mean unless i'm mistaken buisnesses in general pay higher taxes in Europe then the US. Likely that buck gets passed to the consumer.
Or i suppose the buck gets passed from the consumer to the company so to speak.
