German term
außer der Umsatz wäre hiervon befreit
German to English
Bus/Financial
Law: Contract(s)

I am having trouble with the latter part of the following sentence from the General Terms and Conditions of a company that develops software programs:
Alle Preise verstehen sich zuzüglich der jeweils
geltenden gesetzlichen Umsatzsteuer, **außer der
Umsatz wäre hiervon befreit**.
"Umsatz" not being subject to "Umsatzsteuer" seems illogical and I can't think what "Umsatz" could mean in this specific context. Help greatly appreciated!

unless the transaction is not subject to tax
I'm thinking of a transaction involving a tax-exempt entity, such as a registered charity.

unless the transaction is tax-exempt (or VAT-exempt)
Wir sollten hier aufpassen und "steuer(be)frei(t)" und "nicht steuerbar" unterscheiden.
steuerbefreit = exempt
nicht steuerbar = not subject to tax, not taxable, non-taxable
steuerbefreit = exempt
nicht steuerbar = not subject to tax, not taxable, non-taxable
