Default Any Germans here?

I'm looking (and translating online) a biz doc, and a part says "ohne MwSt." and another says "incl. MwSt" - it doesn't translate, what does that mean? Thank you!

"ohne" means "without."

"incl." is most likely English abb... "including" or "included."

"MwSt." stands for "Mehrwertsteuer," which is VAT (value-added tax).

So sounds like "without" VAT / "including" VAT.

^^^ Okay, you asked for it. I'm gonna choose the most outrageous phrases, but most people on here wouldn't understand anyway.

I still remember a few phrases from that Honda Accord's commercial.
