what does 'MP Descuento' stand for, please?
Hi, I live in the UK and am hoping to buy some goods from Spain, and have been sent a quote for various items. I've worked out what most of the sections mean on the form (e.g. I guess "%DTO" stands for "Descuento"?), but there are some sections that still puzzle me:
The first one is "MP. Descuento" (which is just 0,00), and the other is "%R.E" (which also says 0,00).
Are these common abbreviations on invoices/quotes, and if so, please could you let me know what they stand for?
Many thanks, Kay

"MP" in the context of commerce usually means: "precio al mayoreo" (wholesale). Since it says "descuento", it is referring to a discount for volume purchase.
"R.E" in the same context, is a special tax called: Régimen especial del comercio minoritario.
