Hi,

> Frederik, for clarification, have the figures you have generally been
> quoting in your emails included GST?

Yes, it's called "MwSt" in Germany, it's always 19% except in  
esoteric cases that don't apply here, and you are not permitted to  
make an offer to a consumer that does not include it. On the "laser- 
line" page I mentioned earlier, you'll find that 19% is figured in  
the final amount quoted.

If a business were to export stuff to the UK they would be allowed  
under EU regulations to export it using the national rate of 19% so  
you'd pay the exact price mentioned, unless they'd export more than a  
few hundred thousand Euros' worth of good each year, then they would  
be expected to charge you the UK tax instead of the German tax.

Bye
Frederik
