Because every state has different amounts of taxes, and some (the ones near bankruptcy) have none.in many places it’s illegal to include the tax as part of the price.

Canon EOS R5 pricing in Europe may have leaked [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
State and local sales tax varies from ZERO to over 10%. Based on where we folks love we can adjust for our selves without being boggled. Moreover, until very recently last year the biggest internet retailers charged collected mo sales tax from their out of state customers.
From what tax nirvana are you coaching us?

Well to be picky, the Australian states levy stamp (transfer) duty into certain purchases where land is involved and is clearly separate from the purchase price.
You will see breakdowns in NSW for fire service levy and emergency service levies on insurance premiums.
Excise and importation duties are other buried taxes. We even have tax (GST) on tax (Excise and importation duty) for fuel. Buried fuel taxes represent about 35% of the retail price
State payroll taxes are buried under SG&A costs.
From recent AFR article: "A challenge for the states is that they are responsible for nearly half of Australian general government operating expenditure, but their limited taxation capacity means they collect only about 25 per cent of total revenues.
The so-called vertical fiscal imbalance forces the Commonwealth to pay the states GST and other grants."
Other non-government changes include freight and "handling fees" for tickets amongst other things.

But that's important for merchants/resellers. Buyers/customers pay what's on the price tag. The exception is the credit card surcharge (which I rarely encounter) but that's not the tax. Also in certain cases you can get GST back from your purchases.

There’s a thing called inflation and if you’re a working photographer, which most of the target market is, you should be wise enough to make small price increases now and then to keep up.

Well I have my finances in order and I'm ready to pull the trigger. This will now replace my 5DIII and will go with me and my 1DXII. I'm hoping this thing lives up to expectations and the increased MP and better sensor will be awesome. I have a trip planned for September, so an August release will give me time to just start to get familiar with it.
Can't wait.

Anytime I bought any gear in Singapore I done a quick compare against the listed B&H price.
Most of the times the prices were very close to what B&H were displaying.
My 2nd R was USD30 cheaper in Singapore.
Just hope flights and borders open soon or it will be a long wait.

Indeed, you are talking prices including VAT here, you should take the VAT excluded price as a base. If the R5 would be 4500 over here with our 21%VAT rate, it would be 3700 euro's.
