Shops have to display prices that are "complete" and "tax inclusive". This means the price on display must include all taxes and not have any extra "hidden" charges. If the price doesn't include Value Added Tax (VAT), for example, they are misleading consumers and in breach of consumer legislation.

This includes on-line shops.

In the case of certain invoices such as telephone and electricity bills, the VAT may be shown separately.

In general, service providers are not legally required to display their prices or charges. But when they choose to do so, they must give the final price, inclusive of taxes and charges.

There are also rules about how certain advertisements for concerts and theatre shows indicate additional charges and booking fees.

But one exception to this "tax inclusive" rule is a business selling goods intended mainly for other business customers, such as a "trade only" electrical distributor, or a cash and carry which again says that it is "trade only". These kinds of businesses are allowed to show prices that exclude the VAT element.

Thus, general online kartshops that you use, should be dispalying vat inclusive prices.

Boycott them if they don't.
