When purchased in the UK, both Audirvana and Amarra add 20% VAT to their advertised price. It’s not until one gets to the final payment page that this otherwise hidden cost is made known.

Genuine question: if Roon similarly adds local taxation to their advertised price, this makes Roon Lifetime significantly more expensive. If they don’t add local sales tax to their price, how do they get away with not adding this extra cost to their customers?

That is, rather than paying £550 ($699), the true cost is £660. No?
