# Tax Inclusive Versus Exclusive Recheck

Recheck that tax was computed on the right price basis before an invoice is sent.

## Scope
Preparation and review only. No account action or professional decision.

## Inputs
Price, tax rate, whether the price is tax inclusive or exclusive, and the computed tax.

## Workflow
1. Record the price and the stated tax basis.
2. For exclusive prices compute tax as price times rate.
3. For inclusive prices compute tax as price minus price divided by one plus rate.
4. Compare to the computed tax and return the difference.

## Output contract
invoice | price | basis | rate | expected_tax | computed_tax | difference

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional invoice has a tax-inclusive price of 100 at a 10% rate: the tax part is 100 - 100/1.1 = 9.09; the draft used the exclusive formula and shows 10.00, an overstatement of 0.91.

## Review gates
Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
