I understand that the purchase price must include all costs (and
import duties or transport/forwarder fees should be considered in it )
but I would say the VAT is not a cost as it has to be supported by the
final consumer.

While this would obviously greatly depend on legislature,
International Accounting Standards and most legislatures I'm familiar
with are such that warehouse stock (and therefore by extension
average procurement price) is evidented that all the costs of
procurement are included in stock price incl. transportation and
customs costs and all taxes, apart from those that can be retrieved
back (like sales tax and/or VAT). -- IAS 2 - article 11.
I only have them in Croatian so the original English text might
differ a bit.

Hi,
When we purchase a product price tax included, the average price is
calculated with taxes.
It seems to me weird (cost price should never include taxes) but is
there any accounting expert to enlighten this topic?
Best regards
