Jeez, what part of "That's only true in countries where the sales tax is added onto the purchase price" didn't you understand? Yes, that's the case in the UK (and I think all of the EU), but it is not the case in many other countries. It is explicitly forbidden in Canada. In any case, the point being made was that "Most individuals know the exact sales tax rate they pay". In the UK, most people have no idea how much tax they're paying, because they're only given a "tax inclusive" price. In Canada, you always know.
