Your receipt is wrong because the nrst is figured exclusive of any state or local taxes.

Other than that, your html looks good.

It is surely different to have a tax inclusive tax on a traditionally tax-exclusive receipt. It would be stupid to not recognize this. But different doesn't mean deceptive except to people who want to make the nrst less desireable to learn about. Some people think that calling something a name will prevent others from forming their own opinions.

The good thing about FR is that folks here are not stupid. They know a name caller, agenda holder at first post.

Actually, you're wrong, but it's hard to tell with the tax inclusive rates. I just had a typo on the cost of the item. It should have been $29.65. Other than that, the numbers are correct...and confusing.

The corrected receipts:

Item description $ 29.65
8.25% sales tax 2.44
TOTAL $32.09



With a NRST, this receipt becomes:

Item description $ 29.65
8.25% state & local sales tax 2.44
23% national sales tax 8.85
TOTAL $40.94
