1139589 2010-09-25 21:14:00 With 12.5% gst, if you divide the gross by 9 you get net of GST.

Now we are going onto 15%, what do you divide by now?

IRD says, multiple by 3 and divide by 23. Shishhhhhh! must be an easier factor.

Anyone got any idea please?

1139590 2010-09-25 21:21:00 Good question - I don't know there is any easy way around it.

But I recall that the reason 12.5% was chosen was that it was the simplest whole number calculation. :2cents:

1139591 2010-09-25 21:28:00 X the price by 1.125 is the correct and fastest way to calc current GST

X the price by 1.15 for new GST

So $100 x 1.15 = $115

Sure. Deduct 15%. It's so easy you don't need any weird divide by anythings.

115 / 1.15 = 100 :)
