How to calculate Consumption Tax in Japan

Adding Consumption Tax to a net price

Consumption Tax = net × 10 / 100
Gross = net × 1.1

Removing Consumption Tax from a gross price

Net = gross / 1.1
Consumption Tax = gross − net

Remember that the tax share of a gross price is smaller than the rate itself: at 10% it is 9.09%. That is why you divide by 1.1 rather than subtracting 10%.
