Transparency is easy even with inclusive pricing where the real price is the price on the price tag - it can be listed on the receipt.

Looking at a grocery store receipt from a recent business trip to Mexico

Total price - 220.50 pesos. (The price listed on price tags)
Of that price 11.03 is IVA tax and 8.07 is IEPS tax.

I know exactly how much I paid in tax and the price listed on the price tax was the actual price.

A google search of "Frontier Airline Bag Fee" returns:
