In Argentina I believe we use +/- and the Spanish for that is 'más menos' or 'más/menos'.
Our name for Value Added Tax is Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA). With or without VAT is said 'con IVA' and 'sin IVA'. I'm guessing you could abbreviate that like c/IVA and s/IVA. Edited by getreallanguage on 18 February 2011 at 6:03am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Not quite. As Iversen says, "±" indicates a range. Also, the comma (,) in English is used to separate thousands. For decimals, we traditionally used a middle point (12·34) but as most computers couldn't produce this until recently, most people use a period for decimals (12.34) The Euro symbol goes before the figure The symbol I use for rough figures is a single tilde. When reading it out I would say "approximately (value)", "roughly (value)" or "about" or "around" (value) So: The price will be ~€100.00 ex VAT and ~€121.00 inc VAT. If you said The price will be €100.00 ± €10 this would mean that the price will be between €90 and €110. This would probably be read as "one hundred euros plus or minus ten euros". 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Sorry, but I don't know the abbreviations "HTVA" and "TVAC", could you please write these words fullout? BTW = bedrag toegevoegde waarde = die Mehrwertsteuer (MWSt) in German. ~ ungefähr (German) = ongeveer (Dutch) +- = plusminus (German) Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 19 February 2011 at 8:36am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks, now I can help you! TVAC = einschließlich Mehrwertsteuer/Umsatzsteuer (German) = inclusief BTW (Dutch) = inclusive value added tax (English) HTVA = ohne Mehrwertsteuer/Umsatzsteuer (German) = exclusief BTW (Dutch) = exclusive value added tax (English) (First I used Google Tanslate to give me a hint. :)) Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 19 February 2011 at 6:45pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
