Hey guys, are websites obliged to include the vat in the advertised prices? I've come across this and felt it was a bit underhanded

Is the site consumer retail, or wholesale? Is it designed for trade users or end consumers?

It also depends on which country we're talking about. Sales tax is never included in the sticker price in retail shops in the US.

Foreign websites follow foreign rules. No guarantee its Irish even with a .ie in the name.
