The taxes are in the price of items here. If you see $20 on the tag, you pay $20. It sort of freaked me out when I first arrived as I was used to the Canadian system of adding 15% to the price (it has since dropped to 13%). The GST here went up a year ago and the government paid close attention to those who raised their prices more than necessary. Using the tax increase as an excuse to price gouge was frowned upon and some were fined by the government for doing it.
