You've never seen a receipt in Europe, have you?

At the start of last decade Puerto Rico still had a 7% sales tax, which made $59.99 games $64.19.

Though on 2015, the tax has been increased to 11.5%, which made it $66.89 for a newly released physical game.

I can't say how much taxes I pay on games on average right now, since I tend to buy digital now, and I don't have to pay taxes there.

Someone's never been to Europeeeeee

Our listed prices always include tax. When I go do shopping and I pick up cereal and the price on the shelf says £2. I pay exactly £2 for that item.

We never have a case of you click on something to buy and then the price is higher when you actually go to pay. Please research before you comment on these things.l

No his "point" is since the item's price tag only displays the total amount you have to pay, the amount you pay in taxes is hidden within.

Which is of course not a very good point because within each European country there are only about 3 different rates of sales tax for goods: standard, reduced and tax exempt. If you're living in one of those countries you'll likely know what tax rates applies to what type of goods.

And even if you don't, you can see them on the receipt at the end.

I have seen European receipts.  I have spent a fair amount of time in the EU.  

It looks to me like a lot of you don't even understand how your own tax systems works.

Let's take a video game. In the US, the only tax paid at any point from the time that game starts development to the time it reaches the consumer is the retail sale to that consumer. In much of Europe, the raw materials to make the case are taxed when sold to the manufacturer. The raw materials for the disk are taxed when sold to that manufacturer. The stuff is assemble and that item is taxed when sold to the distributor. Then it is taxed again when sold to the retailer. Taxed a final time when sold to the consumer. Tax is being paid all over the place. And, no, it is not spelled out on the receipt. A whole bunch of that is hidden.

You literally said the same thing that I said, but implied that I was wrong.  

Um, nice generalization?

You clearly don't know how the tax system works.

Those companies have to pay the tax but as soon as they sell it, they get the tax back from the local authorities.

At the end of the day only the last person/company that bought the goods is paying the tax, no one else. Thus, nothing of that is hidden.

It isn't generalization when it is a fact that the south which have usually the least amount of taxes have the poorest education system.  They are called facts.  Look it up the south is terrible at education.
