If I understand your question correctly you know what the Gross Receipts are and need to calculate the sales tax that is included. If that is the case this is how to do it. Gross Receipts - Gross Receipts divided by (1+ Tax Rate) if your tax rate is 5% and your gross receipts including tax are $1,050.00, divide $1,050.00 by 1.05. The result is your net receipts without tax. $1000.00 . Then $1050.00 -$1000.00 = $50.00 the sales tax
