GST

What is GST?

GST's a tax you collect for the government. You charge GST in your sales and income and claim it back for your purchases and expenses. Slaters then calculates these differences in your GST return to work out if you have a GST payment to IRD  or if your receive a GST refund from them.

How is GST calculated?

Here's how we calculate your GST:

• You charge GST at 15% for sales and income.
  • Calculate GST by multiplying the sales and the income figure by 3 then dividing by 23.
• You claim GST at 15% for purchases and expenses.
  • Calculate GST by multiplying the purchases and expenses figure by 3 then dividing by 23.
