Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between GST and VAT?
Both are consumption taxes charged as a percentage of a good or service's price. GST (Goods and Services Tax) is used in countries like Australia, Canada, and India. VAT (Value Added Tax) is used in the EU and UK. The calculation method is identical.
How do I remove VAT from a price?
Divide the VAT-inclusive price by (1 + rate/100). For example, to remove 20% VAT from £120: £120 ÷ 1.20 = £100 pre-tax, £20 VAT.
When should I use add mode vs extract mode?
Use add when you know the net price and need the gross customers pay. Use extract when you only have the tax-inclusive receipt total and need to back out the tax portion for bookkeeping or margin analysis.
Does this handle multiple VAT bands (reduced rates) on one basket?
No. Enter one rate at a time for a line item or category. Mixed baskets need separate rows per rate or a dedicated invoicing system.
Are GST/VAT outputs suitable for filing returns?
Treat results as arithmetic checks only. Filing requires correct rounding rules, invoice sequencing, reverse-charges, and exemptions defined by your tax authority.
