Teaching & troubleshooting tips

Does it support multiple GST tiers?

It focuses on a single rate at a time. Run the calculation separately for each tier if your invoice mixes taxable and non-taxable items.

Can I change currencies?

Yes. The math is percentage based, so simply enter figures in your preferred currency and read the results in the same unit.
