That's not what visible means. Visible means a breakdown. List price should always include all fees.


For taxes, in US eCommerce transactions at least, that generally isn't possible until checkout anyway you need to know where you are shipping the order to apply correct taxes. For brick and mortar shopping, I agree, taxes should just be included in the label price.


A breakdown into what part of the price is set by the business and what part is set by the government seems to fit your provided definition of “visibility”.
