How to add tax to a price
Gross price = net price × (1 + tax rate). For example, £100 plus 20% UK VAT is £100 × 1.2 = £120, of which £20 is VAT.
How to remove tax from a price
Net price = gross price ÷ (1 + tax rate). To take VAT out of £120 at 20%, divide by 1.2 to get £100. A common mistake is multiplying by 0.8, which gives £96 and is wrong.
- Australia – GST is 10%, so the GST inside a GST-inclusive price is 1/11 of the total.
- Canada – 5% GST, or a combined HST of 13–15% in participating provinces. Some provinces charge PST on top of GST.
- United States – there is no national sales tax. Rates are set by states and local areas and are usually added at checkout.
- India – GST is charged in slabs; the rate depends on the product’s HSN code.
