Only used in written English — never in speech. Common in price lists, schedules, email subject lines, and forms. When standing for 'including' or 'inclusive', it usually appears before the noun phrase it refers to; when standing for 'included', it appears after. Avoid using 'incl' in formal academic or legal writing, where the full word is preferred.
