To calculate the GST (Goods and Services Tax) in Canada, you can follow these steps:

Understanding GST Tax

• Determine the GST rate: The GST rate in Canada is 5%.

• Determine the base amount: Identify the price of the goods or services before tax.

• Calculate the GST amount: Multiply the base amount by the GST rate (0.05 or 5%). This will give you the amount of GST to be paid.

• Calculate the total amount including GST: Add the base amount and the GST amount together to get the total amount including GST.

Formula to Calculate Your GST Tax

• GST amount = Base amount x GST rate

For example, let's say you have a purchase with a base amount of $100. To calculate the GST amount:

• GST amount = $100 x 0.05 = $5

• To calculate the total amount including GST:

• Total amount including GST = $100 + $5 = $105

So, for a purchase of $100, the GST amount would be $5 and the total amount including GST would be $105.
