€170 + 21.5% (Irish VAT rate) is €206.55. So not sure what you expected. One complain though in EU B2C companies must show prices with VAT included.

By clicking, he expected to see the full price with VAT included, as required by EU regulations, without doing the math himself.

Parent clearly stated they only saw "€170+VAT" and not €206.55, so of course they expected to see €206.55 before the purchase went through. Not sure what anyone else would expect?

Even the ex VAT price is wrong. It should always just be 206.55 - can't tease low price first ex tax.
Why would anyone complain about showing prices with taxes (VAT) included? It's deceptive otherwise.
