Well, no, it doesn't. However, UK prices are, by law, quoted inclusive of VAT, 20% in this case: so the ex-VAT price that goes to Amazon (from my receipt) is £228.32: factor in the likely cost of a case of this quality, using the Voyage and PW figures (~£50 + £10 VAT) gets you ~£170 as the ex-VAT cost of the device itself.
US prices are generally quoted ex sales taxes, making direct comparisons without adjusting for this invidious.
