German term or phrase: über den Preis zu kompensieren
Selbstverständlich sind neben den Einnahmen die Kosten auch hier sehr vereinfachend dargestellt, Steuern wurden gar nicht berücksichtigt, Umsatzsteuern wären evtl. auch über den Preis zu kompensieren.

Naturally in addition to the proceeds the costs are also represented here very basically; taxes have not been taken into consideration at all, VAT would potentially also compensate *über* the price.

Explanation:
just to give you some possibilities to translate *über* which you highlighted
thus: "...., VAT could be compensated via the price as well." (would = würden ... werden, wären zu ... = should be ..., wären eventuell zu ... = could be ...)
