Example: A$4,000 net + 10% GST = A$4,400 gross · A$400 GST

Formula

Add GST: Gross = Net × 1.10 | Remove GST: Net = Gross ÷ 1.10

Australia's GST at 10% is a flat rate with no reduced tiers. Multiply the net price by 1.10 to get the GST-inclusive price. To extract the net from a gross price, divide by 1.10. The GST is always one-eleventh (1/11) of the GST-inclusive price — a useful quick check.

Worked Example

Scenario: An Australian freelancer invoices a client AUD 2,000 for design services. GST at 10% applies (assuming the freelancer is GST-registered).

GST = AUD 2,000 × 10% = AUD 200.00

Gross = AUD 2,000 + AUD 200 = AUD 2,200.00

Quick check: GST component should equal 1/11 of the gross. AUD 2,200 ÷ 11 = AUD 200. Confirmed.

Common Mistakes

  • Charging GST before reaching the registration threshold. Only businesses with a GST turnover of AUD 75,000 or more (or AUD 150,000 for non-profits) are required to register. Charging GST without being registered is not permitted.
  • Applying GST to GST-free supplies. Fresh food, most medical services, and some educational courses are GST-free (zero-rated), not just exempt. This distinction matters for claiming input tax credits. Always verify whether a supply is GST-free, input-taxed, or standard-rated.
  • Forgetting the 1/11 rule when checking. Because 10% GST is always exactly 1/11 of the gross price, you can always verify your GST extraction: gross ÷ 11 should equal the GST amount.
