\"zuzüglich gesetzliche Mehrwertsteuer\" is the German phrase - so I would put \"statutory\" to reflect \"gesetzlich\"

: 557000 google hits for "plus VAT". imho the "statutory" is extraneous twaddle (you only seem to find it on (bad?) translations of German web sites anyway)

Why do you have to be rude? It's up to the asker if they want to reflect this or not

: Confidence 5? Even if "inclusive" were right, "mandatory" doesn't sound natural or standard here.
