Net, gross and explicitly eligible input tax
A fictional transaction is expressly assumed to be wholly taxable at the supplied 8.1 percent rate on net consideration of CHF 2 000. A separate purchase produces CHF 60 of input tax that the exercise explicitly declares eligible for deduction under the applicable method. A draft worksheet first applies the tax rate to the gross sales total and then deducts the purchase's entire gross cost instead of its input-tax amount. The supporting documents are available, and there are no other supplies, credits or adjustments in this simplified model. The exercise is about consistent bases and calculation stages, not an independent classification of a real mixed supply or a guarantee that every supplier invoice creates the same deduction entitlement.
1. Calculate the sales tax and gross amount.
Read the worked answer
The supplied rate gives CHF162 tax on CHF2 000 net, so gross is CHF2 162. Applying 8.1percent to that gross total again would use the wrong base for included tax.
2. Calculate the simplified net tax due and state the limits.

CHF162 output tax less the expressly eligible CHF60 input tax leaves CHF102. Eligibility and method are supplied assumptions here; in a real case they require current-rule and transaction-specific support.
