Tax Exclusive vs Inclusive

+ Tax (Exclusive)

Here, the tax amount is added to the price of the item. For example, if a $100 item has a 15% tax, the total amount you pay is $115

- Tax (Inclusive)

Here, the tax amount is already included in the price of the item. Since the price you see includes tax, the actual price of the item is displayed when the tax is removed.

  • ✓ Exclusive: Price + Tax = Total
  • ✓ Inclusive: Price is the Total

Common Questions

Tax calculations can be complex. Here are some quick answers to help you navigate your business decisions with Horizons Finance.

What's the difference between GST and VAT?

Both are consumption taxes, but VAT is collected at every stage of production, while GST is often a single unified tax system. For calculation, they usually follow the same percentage logic.

Should I use Tax Inclusive or Exclusive?

Use Inclusive if your price already includes tax (like retail shelf prices). Use Exclusive if you need to add tax on top of your base price (like wholesale or service quotes).

How is tax affected by discounts?

Usually, tax is calculated after the discount is applied to the base price. This reduces the total tax amount you have to pay!

TAX ASSISTANT
Is tax added after the discount?
Yes! We deduct the discount first, then apply tax to the lower price. You save more! 💸
