Current text in the user guide has a Note following the section Add Products - Price that is not reflective of how tax is applied in all instances. Current text reads:

If your enterprise is registered for tax or you select that this product carries tax, then the price you put here is inclusive of Tax. If you select that this product is tax free, the price you enter will be the tax free price.

In Canada and the USA (possibly other instances) the product price should be exclusive of tax as taxes are applied at checkout on taxable products.

We submitted the following text to change the note:

If the product is taxable then the price you put here should be inclusive of Tax (UK/EU enterprises) OR exclusive of Tax (USA and Canada enterprises) [How taxes are applied depend on the tax rules for the country where you are operating, if you are unsure when to include taxes contact your local instance].

If you select that this product is tax free, the price you enter will be the tax free price.

Other instances may want to add their country name to let users know whether the product price in their country should be inclusive or exclusive of tax.

Also note, we removed the text 'If your enterprise is registered for tax or you select that this product carries tax' as this is a separate issue and should be addressed elsewhere. Whether tax is applied requires both the product to be 'taxable' and the 'enterprise registered for tax'. In this section all the user needs to know that if the product IS taxable then whether or not the product price should be inclusive or exclusive of tax.
