neutral  JeffFish (X): 557000 google hits for "plus VAT". imho the "statutory" is extraneous twaddle (you only seem to find it on (bad?) translations of German web sites anyway)

  -> Why do you have to be rude? It's up to the asker if they want to reflect this or not

disagree  JeffFish (X): no, it's exclusive

disagree  Ian M-H (X): Confidence 5? Even if "inclusive" were right, "mandatory" doesn't sound natural or standard here.
