plus VAT [GST] at a total amount of currently 16%, i.e. EUR x.00

Explanation:
Mwst = Mehrwertsteuer = value-added tax = VAT (or GST (goods and services tax), as it is called in NZ and Oz)

ges. = gesamt = total

z.Z. = zur Zeit = currently

The German text should have a colon after %, as this is where they specify the actual total amount of VAT to be paid.

Good job you chose Steffen\'s answer before I had even put in mine - I now think his interpretation of \"ges.\" is correct, although the standard expression is \"ges(etzliche Mehrwertsteuer). To be honest, it didn\'t even occur to me that ges. could mean anything else but gesamt ... :-(
