UStG

Abbreviation for Umsatzsteuergesetz

In short and in plain language

The UStG is the German law on value added tax.

It sets out when this tax applies to bills and prices. It also says when the rule for small firms may apply.

So it can matter for offers, prices and the legal notice of a website.
