From my country called top secret to UK
Yeah, thank you⊠Doesnât really help then but thanks anyways I guessâŠ
would be important to know where you are from and how much it is for you.
But anyways what it does confirm is that there are indeed 2 different pricepoints in the UK.
If this is without VPN you must be from GB too because I donât think any other country uses GBP in the Marketplace.
I would have guessed you are from Poland, but that doesnât add up with you having GBP prices in your MP.
Nope.
Important is Windows settings

Ok mate, please, this doesnât help at all and is just trolling at this point. If you donât want to contribute it is totally fine but then just leave it at that please. I appreciate you are trying to help but this doesnât help at all and just makes things even more confusing!

THANK YOU, this actually helps a lot as I was waiting for data from Germany!
Accusing me of trolling is neither a good idea nor elegant. Iâve shown you the price Iâll pay for the airport with the current Windows settings.
If the prices are unclear to you, you should ask the game developers or the people responsible for the marketplace pricing.
EOT
But if you need other data Iâm happy to help, so (âŠ)
Poland 23% VAT

Now this, this is more than helpful! Thank you very much, I appreciate that.
This is exactly what this thread is about and we are gathering evidence that something is not right.

Thatâs strange, Iâm also in Germany without a VPN:
Local Legends have gone up from 14.99 to 16,79 or if you got Premium from 9.99 to 11,19:
Overall, the Marketplace prices have gone up significantly for me, another example is Top Mach Studios B-2, it was somewhere in the mid to high 30s and is now at 44.19.
I agree VAT comes into it, but we arent here looking at net price net of sales tax etc but we are comparing fully inclusive retail prices. The VAT argument is fair if the assumption is that the goods are sold/imported into UK at US Retail prices and VAT is added on top of that. (Although VAT varies between Countries and many companies are registered in Luxembourg or Ireland with low VAT rates).
But ofcourse we know that this isnt so. They are container shipped direct from China.
I wonder if the asnwer is simply MS inefficiency?
We cant all always get Market Place from the exact same server. So I just wonder if they have updated prices on some and not others. Different prices in the same Country for the same product suggests to me info coming from different servers. Just a thought.
I have no idea. We donât know exactly how it works - maybe someone from MS could explain it to us âŠ
Very strange indeed. Again, same country and different prices⊠One has to pay 17.99⏠and the other one 20.09âŹ. This is what confuses us so much

This is why we made a VAT corrected chart which includes all the dfferent VAT percentages per country 
I did notice this a good while ago on almost every thing, thats why I dont buy things like planes and sceneries from marketplace, it is just ridiculous how more expensive it is from $ to âŹ
Interesting. Mine was also without VPN. The platform was PC, premium deluxe version. Which version do you use?
