There is only vat. But showing the total with and without.
Also it’s a “Zwischenrechnung” so they are screwing the state for taxes, probably canceling it after you paid and pocket the money or something like that.
4,79 is the VAT which is already included in the 19,50 + 10,50.
One important thing to understand is that in Germany, unless stated otherwise, displayed prices for consumers have everything included. If you see a price, that is what you need to pay. No taxes added during the process.
But in order to properly report the taxes paid, the bill will show how much VAT is included in that price.
There is no additional. However this is not a bill. It’s just a list of the current costs if you would pay now. (Zwischenrechnung = interim invoice)
This is not a bill!!
You press ‘Zwischensumme’ to get a quick glance at the total. It’s not a bill financially speaking. If this is what you received, I’d wager a guess that they’ve comped the bill to cheat taxes.
There’s no addition besides the VAT.
“Zwischenrechnung” = sales tax fraud
There’s no addition.
VAT is included already as per usual in Europe
It’s
4.79 VAT
25.21 net
30.00 gross (net + VAT)
Usually food prices in Germany are gross, including the VAT – but on bills etc. you have to state out the VAT separately.
The math math’s out, but the notation is questionable.
Is this Warung Bayu in Cologne?
Just a breakdown of the final price. In Europe what you see is always the final price. Including all taxes and fees.
In some European countries business owners who want to fight against the taxes that they would love to avoid paying, they have managed to break down the prices so that they make people hate the taxes by seeing how much it adds to the price. They managed to do this as supposedly a “transparency” measure.
They are not very transparent when it comes to how much they bought these products on wholesale and what their profit margin is. 😉
That’s a „nice“ one. Maybe they are withholding the taxes they have to pay, and lower their taxable income. And maybe not …
Some thoughts: When they learned you pay cash they made this intermediate invoice, which is no invoice at all.
If they handle it correctly, they will be booking it through. Then it goes to the immutable ledger of the cashier system, taxes will be paid.
Or they don’t. Then they will erase it after you paid, like an input error. You have never been there, if somebody checks the paperwork. And the taxes are pocketed by the owner.
25,21€ = Price without VAT —> „Netto“
4,79€ = VAT
Both added (30€) is the price you have to pay —> „Brutto“
the addition beside the VAT is literally what you have eaten here.

What do you mean? There is no addition.
