As a tourist, you can keep receipts and claim back from the appropriate office in the Airport when departing. They will advise what is and isnt acceptable.

If you're referring to VAT, yes, it would normally be included in the price shown, if the price isn't inclusive "+VAT" will be shown.

 

VAT for tourists can be refunded at the airport when  you leave the country for purchases made at participating shops that display the VAT refund sign.  This includes most major department stores like Central World and brand shops.
