Penguin Books UK manage to give a price inclusive of Tax as do waterstones. Why can't Whsmith?
My point is that WH Smith's are not alone in adding the VAT at the point of checkout. It's an entirely standard practice which many web sites use. You cannot say that they are doing something "bad" in doing this.
