How GST and VAT Are Calculated

GST (Goods and Services Tax) and VAT (Value Added Tax) are consumption taxes applied to the sale of goods and services. They work the same way mathematically, but are used in different countries.

Adding tax to a price (tax exclusive):

Gross Price = Net Price × (1 + Tax Rate / 100)

Extracting tax from a price (tax inclusive):

Tax Amount = Gross Price − (Gross Price ÷ (1 + Tax Rate / 100))

Common rates worldwide include: Australia GST (10%), UK VAT (20%), EU VAT (19-27%), Canada GST (5%), New Zealand GST (15%), India GST (5-28%), and Singapore GST (9%).

Frequently Asked Questions

GST (Goods and Services Tax) and VAT (Value Added Tax) are functionally the same — both are consumption taxes on goods and services. The name varies by country: Australia, Canada, India, and New Zealand use GST, while the UK and EU use VAT.

Multiply the net price by (1 + tax rate). For example, to add 10% GST to $100: $100 × 1.10 = $110. The GST amount is $10.

Divide the gross price by (1 + tax rate) to get the net price, then subtract. For 20% VAT on £120: £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100 net, so the VAT is £20.

Use the rate for your country or the country where the sale occurs. Common rates: Australia 10%, UK 20%, Canada 5% (federal GST), EU 19-27%, New Zealand 15%. Some goods may have reduced or zero rates.
