German VAT (Umsatzsteuer) basics

Germany's standard VAT rate is 19%. A reduced rate of 7% applies to certain goods and services such as many foodstuffs, books and cultural services. The tax is commonly abbreviated USt or MwSt (Mehrwertsteuer).

Adding and removing 19% VAT

Add: net × 1.19 = gross. €100 → €119 (VAT €19). Remove: gross ÷ 1.19 = net. €119 → €100 (VAT €19).

For intra-EU B2B sales the reverse-charge mechanism usually applies. See rates by country or the main calculator.
