good explaining prof,i like it

Now, consider VAT, and the numbers are completely different.

yes,i agree,what is it going up to, in the uk

do japan and america have no equivalent tax then,at all

Japan I don't know. In USA, the MRSP is without taxes. As an example, California Sales Tax was in 2008 an 8.25% if I'm not mistaken, so you have to pay 299$ for the PS3 and 24,67$ in taxes, for a total of 323,67$. In Europe, that 299€ is the final amount you have to pay, because the sales tax is included in that price. Politicians do this way in Europe so people don't consider the real costs and the taxes we pay.

 

This is why you can't compare directly MRSPs divided by the exchange ratio, because in USA that MRSP is before taxes, and in Europe is after taxes.
