For retail type catalogs where you tend to display prices inc VAT, we tend
to set the price in the products table including VAT and display the VAT
content on the checkout/receipts.

The reason for this is that using a two decimal ex vat price it is not to
get some inc vat prices to display due to rounding.

Alternatively, here is Jamie Neil's solution:
