A tax in a tax

Tax in tax

X + TAX ==> IN TAX!!

When I first saw this English, I couldn’t understand it at all. Is there tax inside the tax?? I had to read the Japanese in order to understand what the intended meaning was. (Also, I didn’t notice the “plus sign”, but still “in tax” is very strange!)

If you use this ticket, the pre-tax price will become the tax-included price. It’s difficult to say that in so few words, but maybe we could use this:

O PRE-TAX ==> WITH TAX!
