How to Use the Reverse Tax Calculator

Understanding the Reverse Tax Calculation

Suppose the total price you paid, including GST and QST, is $115.00. The reverse tax calculation helps you determine how much of this amount is the base price before taxes and how much is attributed to GST and QST.

Here’s how the calculation works:

Example Calculation

1. Determine the Combined Tax Rate: In Quebec, the GST is 5% and the QST is 9.975%. The combined tax rate is calculated as follows:

Combined Tax Rate = 1 + (GST / 100) + (QST / 100)
Combined Tax Rate = 1 + 0.05 + 0.09975 = 1.14975

2. Calculate the Pre-Tax Amount:

Pre-Tax Amount = Total Price / Combined Tax Rate
Pre-Tax Amount = 115.00 / 1.14975 ≈ 100.00

3. Calculate the GST and QST:

GST = Pre-Tax Amount * 0.05 = 100.00 * 0.05 = 5.00
QST = Pre-Tax Amount * 0.09975 = 100.00 * 0.09975 = 9.98

Thus, the total price of $115.00 includes a pre-tax amount of $100.00, GST of $5.00, and QST of $9.98.
