That doesn’t actually matter. You are making excuses for why the tax system is too complicated to include tax, and I’m telling you they’ve already solved the issues of different tax rates across one currency. In the EU, where most counties share the same currency, companies are required to include tax in the displayed price and show the customer how much of the purchase is tax.
I work with Point of Sale companies and know this problem is solved. It is not too difficult to achieve from a technical or practical perspective, so you’ll have to dig up some other reason this is somehow unachievable.
I’m not making excuses, I’m explaining how it’s complex and isn’t something you can’t snap your fingers and resolve. If you want to start a movement to change it, I’m not going to stand in your way. It doesn’t matter to me either way.
