In Australia, we have a single tax for goods and services, the "GST". It is 10%, (or put otherwise, 1/11 of the price of an item). Only a few categories are excluded, such as fresh food and beverages, healthcare, and education services.

There are a few things with different/additional taxes, but generally tax is pretty transparent here, so prices are usually inclusive of tax.
