Langschwanz-Rang von „MwSt.“ im Deutschen
Rare enough to double-check
MwSt. is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anabbreviation, transcribed [ˈmeːɐ̯veːɐ̯tˌʃtɔɪ̯ɐ]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Mehrwertsteuer".
MwSt. doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable German rules. Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct German form is MwSt., spelled M-W-S-T-..
