What is the current GST rate in New Zealand?

New Zealand's GST rate is 15%, set by the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985. It applies to most goods and services sold in New Zealand.

How do I add GST to a net price?

Multiply the net price by 1.15. For example, a net price of NZD 100 becomes NZD 115 inclusive of GST. This calculator does that automatically.

How do I remove GST from a GST-inclusive price?

Divide the gross price by 1.15. For example, NZD 115 ÷ 1.15 = NZD 100 net. The GST portion is NZD 15, which equals the gross price × 3/23.

Is GST the same as VAT in New Zealand?

Yes. New Zealand calls it GST (Goods and Services Tax), but it functions identically to VAT used in other countries. Both are consumption taxes collected by businesses on behalf of the government.

Does GST apply to all goods and services in New Zealand?

Most goods and services are subject to GST. Key zero-rated supplies (0% GST) include exported goods and certain financial services. Always verify with IRD or a tax advisor for specific situations.

Can I use this for invoicing?

Yes. The results are rounded to 2 decimal places, matching standard invoice formatting. Always confirm your final invoice figures with your accounting software or a tax professional.
