What is GST and Why Calculate It
GST (Goods and Services Tax) is an indirect tax applied to most products and services. Every business owner, accountant, and consumer needs to understand GST calculations for accurate pricing, billing, and tax filing. A GST calculator makes this complex process simple.
How Does the GST Calculator Work
The GST calculator uses standard GST formulas to add or remove tax from amounts. When adding GST, it multiplies the base amount by the GST rate and adds it to the original price. When removing GST, it divides the total amount by (A100 + GST rate) and multiplies by 100th to get the base amount
How to Use This Tool
