Reduced rates, zero rates and exemptions
The standard rate is 19% (section 12(1) UStG). Section 12(2) UStG lowers it to 7% for the goods in Anlage 2 (section 12(2) no. 14 extends it to e-books and electronic newspapers), admission to theatres, concerts and museums, rail and local passenger transport, short-stay accommodation, and restaurant and catering services other than the supply of drinks.
Section 12(3) sets a 0% rate for the supply and installation of solar panels, their essential components and storage on or near homes and certain public-benefit buildings.
Consumer prices must be quoted as a total price including VAT (Gesamtpreis, section 3 PAngV), so a shop or website selling to consumers shows the gross figure.
How to calculate VAT (USt) in Germany
Add: tax = net × 0.19; gross = net × 1.19.
Remove: net = gross ÷ 1.19; tax = gross − net.
