What is the difference between tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive?

Tax-exclusive (net) is the price before tax; tax-inclusive (gross) is what the customer pays. "Add Tax" goes net to gross, "Remove Tax" goes gross back to net.

Which tax rates can I use?

Any percentage: 18% GST in Pakistan, 20% VAT in the UK, 5% VAT in the UAE, US state sales tax rates - the rate is a free input, so the same tool works everywhere.

How does the receipt breakdown work?

Enter the subtotal and the grand total from a receipt and the calculator recovers the tax amount paid and the effective tax rate, useful for verifying invoices.

No. It is arithmetic on the numbers you enter. For filings and compliance, always follow your local tax authority rules.
