RobinB: Utter nonsense. Vorsteuer is "input tax" in all VAT and GST systems.//Since when did "validate" have anything to do whatsoever with input tax? You clearly don't know very much about VAT regimes. Especially if you have to rely on dictionaries.

-> Validate is not Eng.!? The same rubbishy dictionary lists input tax as well! As for pre-tax i.e. pre-tax sales taxation etc. I do not think this is to far off. I am still baffled you do not know "validate/d".

disagree

Margaret Marks: Really, Robin, fancy you not knowing 'validate'!

Kim Metzger: Geltend machen is to assert, invoke or to claim. Nothing to do with validate.
