How to calculate GST in Sierra Leone
Adding GST to a net price
GST = net × 15 / 100
gross = net × 1.15
Removing GST from a gross price
net = gross / 1.15
GST = gross − net
Do not subtract 15% from the total to find the net price — divide by 1.15 instead. Subtracting the percentage removes too much, because GST is only 13.04% of the gross amount.
