Is it to calculate tax for someone or on someone?

Hi everybody !!

I have a doubt. I work with tax and some times I want to explain that I must calculate tax for someone. But I have seen some expression as "calculate tax on someone".

I want to say that I have to calculate tax on behalf of someone. Should I say "calculate tax for Mr. Smith" or "calculate tax on Mr. Smith" ?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Hi, You should say 'calculate tax for Mr. Smith'. If you buy a TV, the salesman will calculate tax ON the TV.
