Not really. In Ireland & the UK, VAT in the region of (22%ish or 17%ish), prices of goods in shops and online are quoted 'VAT inclusive' (likewise petrol), it's only 'trade', i.e. companies that sell products to other business (who then have to charge VAT to the general public) are sold 'ex VAT'.
Oh, that `trade' exemption also applies to Germany. I think that's a common consequence of VAT systems, that only the consumer is quoted inclusive prices.
