4:10 "inc VAT" is "Includes Value Added Tax" , which is UK sales tax. In the UK (And in fact most countries), it's included in the sticker price. You don't suddenly get an extra £10 added to the price at the checkout.

[@Tricolorrr533]

Precisely. Among the best economies I think only the US, Canada and Japan do not have tax included in the price. They are surely the only countries i traveled to that work that way. But as the Japanese are nicer I managed to buy a Switch lite with some other stuff tax free in Tokyo just by lending them my passport for a while. That's $185 for the lite

I am so happy that the Switch completely did away with region locking, and that if we want to see other region’s shops we just need to change the region on the system rather than forking more cash for a brand new system. Swear to God, if Nintendo’s next system will bring back region locking...

'inc VAT' means "Including Value Added Tax". Unlike America, European prices generally alway include the tax already.

@@sacripudding4586 I think you need to return to maths class. Either way, the reason why America doesn't include VAT (sales tax) at the point of sale is because the rate is set at state and city level meaning it varies everywhere. In most other countries the rate is standardised (e.g. In the UK it's 20% everywhere) making it's practicable to calculate VAT into the price.
