What's the difference between inclusive basis and exclusive basis in tax calculations?

Inclusive taxes are included in the assessable value or purchase price. For example:

  • PO amount: USD 100

  • Inclusive tax rate: 10%

  • Tax: 100/1.10 = USD 9.09 (distribution amount divided by (1 + tax rate))

Exclusive taxes are added to the purchase price or assessable value. For example:

  • PO amount: USD 100

  • Exclusive tax rate: 10%

  • Tax: 100*0.10 = USD 10.00 (distribution amount multiplied by tax rate)
