You are correct, I was not accounting for VAT, I guess as the US price does _not_ include sales tax. Thanks!


They almost never do - US sales taxes vary by state, often city, and sometimes county. The combination of these is basically a list of tax by zipcode, so publishing them has more in common with calculating shipping than it does for us.

I know it doesn't really help (I'm facing the same problem @ 21%!), but the current conversion is a lot fairer than they've been in the past.
