US Transportation Tax is 7.5%. UA is showing the base price and then including a line item for the tax once you've made a selection.

I think UA will probably have to switch to showing the all-in price also; I don't think the US government
wants anyone to pay attention to the amount of tax wants consumers to be offered a lowball price and then hit with the total after making a purchase decision.
