Divide by 11.

ie - $1.00 item + GST = $1.10

$1.10 divided by 11 = 10c... The GST amount.

GST is 10%. the way i do it is say somthing costs $100. you do 100 x .10 = $10. then add that to the origional amount. 100 + 10. its probably the longest way but i find it the easiest

if the number has gst included

i always just divide by 110, then multiply that answer by 100. probably an easier way than that but i still do it that way :

Easiest way is divide by 1.1.

So 5.50/1.1 = 5

Assuming that everything on the invoice is GST appilcable.

Otherwise it is (total invoice - GST free supplies) / 11

i.e

Total invoice = $150
GST free = $40

Then GST paid = ($150-$40)/1.1 = $110/11 = $10

That finds the GST exclusive....

On your Safeway/Woolworths/Purity/Roelf Vos docket, it has a star stating, "taxable items".

Yeah, just divide by 11. Its in the second post.

GST from total: divide total by 11

GST to add: Divide price by 10, and add that to price.

i work it out the same. it's by far the longest way as you said, but it just makes more sense to me that way. i do the same with any percentage calculations too.

thanks a million guys.

as in the second post just divide the gst inclusive price by 11 and the result is the gst. mulitiply that by 10 to get the un taxed price.

to work out gst on a price that is $xxx +gst you divide the $xxx by 10 and then multiply the result by 11 to get the gst inclusive price.
