UStG

Abbreviation for Umsatzsteuergesetz

In short and in plain language

The UStG is the German Value Added Tax Act.

Among other things, it sets out when tax applies to invoices and prices. It also sets out when the scheme for small businesses may apply.

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