Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between GST and VAT?
GST (Goods and Services Tax) and VAT (Value Added Tax) are both consumption taxes applied at each stage of production. GST is the common term in Australia, Canada, India, and New Zealand, while VAT is used in the UK, EU, and most of Europe. Functionally they work the same way.
How do I remove GST from a total price?
Select "Including tax" mode, enter the tax-inclusive price and tax rate, then click Calculate. The tool divides the price by (1 + rate/100) to extract the base amount and shows the tax component separately.
What are the GST rates in Australia?
Australia applies a flat 10% GST on most goods and services. Some items like fresh food, medical services, and educational courses are GST-exempt. Use the "10% (Australia GST)" preset for quick calculations.
What VAT rate should I use for the UK?
The standard UK VAT rate is 20%. A reduced rate of 5% applies to certain goods such as domestic energy and children's car seats. There is also a zero rate (0%) for essentials like food and children's clothing. Use the "20% (UK VAT)" preset for standard rate calculations.
Can I use this for invoice calculations?
Yes. Enter your net invoice amount in "Excluding tax" mode with the applicable tax rate to calculate the tax amount and the final amount to charge your customer. Always verify against official tax authority guidelines for compliance purposes.
