Taxes and local councils: bins, roads and schools, sentence 1
Some tax hides in shop prices: in most US states sales tax is added at the till, so a $10 toy costs a bit more, while in the UK a tax called VAT is already inside the price on the label.
Who acts: tax, $ toy · What happens: hide, add, cost, call, be · To what, where: shop prices, sales tax, most US states, more, VAT, price · Speech: someone speaks here
