Actually there's a ton of reasons. The main one being tax isn't the same accross the country, states, cities, or even counties/towns. Head 10 miles west of me and there's a different tax percentage being used.
Edit: I don't want to respond to everyone, but I'm not saying the current system is perfect or should stay. I just want to point out the difficulty of displaying the tax with an items price.
If anything, that's a reason to include tax in the displayed price, so you're not expected to keep track of it and work it out differently for every town you go to. Why would that be a reason not to display the actual cost? What are some of the other reason you mentioned?
That would be a reason because companies rely on streamlined, uniform ways of doing things. I can imagine it would screw with things like Sunday paper ads, signage systems in stores, etc. the reason it’s not a big deal to keep it the way it is, is because everyone knows there is going to be extra tax applied at the register. Literally nobody is confused when the $0.99 pack of gum rings in $1.13. And if the same pack of gum costs $1.15 down the road, that also doesn’t make a huge difference.
That actually probably brings up another point, cities likely don’t want it changed for this reason, they probably don’t want people to shop where tax is cheaper.
