FairTax @ 23% $4.60

LOL! Is that "23% of the gross payment" inclusive?..No

Try $5.97

.23 X (of) $25.97 (gross payment)= $5.97

Hypothetical -- "contrived" -- purchase: The shirt on the rack had a price tag that read $20.00 total.  The sales clerk at the register input $20.00 and hit the total button. The receipt read:

Shirt:                     $20.00

Total:                     $20.00

FairTax @ 23%      $4.60

Yes, the price of the shirt is tax inclusive.

You are clueless about math.

The price of the shirt without the tax was 15.40. THe price inlcuding tax was 20.00.

You can't really be this stupid. You're pretending, right?

Amount of tax is 4.60. 4.6/20=23% tax inclusive. Tax of 4.60
Amount of tax is 4.60. 4.6/15.4=30% tax exclusive. /tax of 4.60.
