Rounding. Over here, the local currency is the Czech Koruna. However, there is also the halar, which was phased out of use around 2002 or 2003 as I recall. Go to the store, though, and you'll see stuff priced at, let's say, 15,06 for a loaf of bread (less than a buck for a one-pound loaf). In this case, that ,06 is halar....so they total you up at the register, and ,50 halar is the rounding point. Less than ,50 halar, and it's rounded down; more than ,50 halar and it's rounded up. One nice thing here, as I must say in pretty much all of Europe, sales tax is reflected in the price, so if a computer is 13,950 Kč, or about 650-odd bucks, that's what you pay at the register. Wish they did back in the States.

I think its vitally important for people to know how much of the price is tax. I wish there was a way to calculate how much of the price is corporate taxes too

I can’t make sense of your 2 cents.
