 Prices do not include VAT.
When will VAT be introduced in the USA?
Are they (IRS I suppose) planning that?

Hanno qualcosa molto più semplice: Sales Tax. Un tariffa diverso da uno
stato all'altro.

Well, but VAT is much simpler: it only varies depending on the country where
you are, the country where you come from, the job you do, and the kind of
item you are puchasing. OK, perhaps also on the kind of dishability you
have, in some countries. And, of course, in Italy it also varies depending
on the opinion that the shop-keeper and the customer have about taxes.
(And I have to turn all this into computer programs, BTW...)

Stai scherzando, non è vero?
VAT viene contabilizzato e notificato al fisco ogni volta che lo stesso
articolo viene comprato e rivenduto. 
Sales tax, invece, viene calcolato, incassato e notificato al fisco solo
una volta, quando l'articole viene venduto al consumatore.

We have sales taxes, and ingenious ways to avoid them, due to the fact
that each State has its own tax laws.
New York City has some of the highest taxes in the country (State
sales tax, City sales tax, Rudy Giuliani retirement tax), but
enterprising consumers can avoid many of them.
Assume you want to buy an expensive engagement ring for your
one-and-only, and you walk into one of the jewelry establishments on
West 47th Street, the diamond capital of America. You see a nice ring,
only $5,000 (I am assuming you are as rich as your language suggests),
but after all the state and local taxes (about 10% in New York City),
the ring will cost an extra $500. Seeing the look of dismay on your
face, the clerk takes you aside and suggests a way to avoid paying the
extra $500. It seems that mail orders from some other States are not
subject to the local taxes. The clerk suggests that you have the ring
mailed, appropriately insured for about $30, to your cousin Vito's
home in New Jersey, where you can pick it up, and thus avoid paying
the extra $500. This actually happened to someone I know just a few
months ago, after I offered him this advice.
A more enterprising and devious clerk might suggest the following
scenario: he gives you the ring right then and there, but treats the
sale as a mail order, and mails a box containing a packet of jewelry
cleaner to your home (or your cousin Vito's home) in New Jersey. This
has also happened to someone I know.

Shhhhh!!!
