It's not a business decision at all in any jurisdiction I know of.
Whether the sales tax is to be shown separately (as with Ontario
sales tax and federal sales tax on printing) or is to be built into
the price the customer sees (as with federal sales tax on most
consumer items) is determined by law, not by the individual business.
