A well-informed customer is an empowered customer. This principle is at the heart of my comparison between the groceries sales tax systems in Canada and the UK, two countries where I’ve enjoyed living over the last 8 years. In the UK, the tax is included in the labeled price on the shelf. This approach allows customers to know upfront what they are going to pay. It’s a straightforward, transparent system that respects the customer’s right to be informed. However, in Canada and North America in general, the tax is added at the cashier after all items are scanned. Customers are often surprised by an additional 14%, 20%, or 24% in GST/HST/Sales tax/provincial tax/State tax. This approach has always raised questions of morality and business transparency for me. It seems to encourage customers to overspend without noticing, or gives them the impression that things are cheaper than they actually are. This practice extends to restaurants and cafes, which might include other fees. In my view, transparency is key to building trust and loyalty with customers. Businesses should consider the impact of their pricing strategies on customer perception and satisfaction. After all, a well-informed customer is not just an empowered customer, but also a loyal one. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Do you prefer the tax-inclusive approach or the add-at-the-cashier method? How do you think these practices impact customer experience and business transparency? #CustomerExperience #BusinessTransparency #TaxSystems
