In Germany, the standard statutory rate of MwSt / USt is 19%.
Tax compliance is overseen by Finanzamt (BZSt) under Umsatzsteuergesetz (UStG) and EU Directive 2006/112/EC.
To calculate price including MwSt / USt, multiply the net price by 1.1900.
To extract (scorporare) MwSt / USt from a gross invoice, divide by 1.1900.

Worked Example (EUR) |
| Add MwSt / USt (Net → Gross) |
Gross = Net × (1 + 19 / 100) |
100.00 EUR + 19% = 119.00 EUR |
| Extract MwSt / USt (Gross → Net) |
Net = Gross ÷ (1 + 19 / 100) |
119.00 EUR ÷ 1.19 = 100.00 EUR (Tax: 19.00 EUR) |
