Default How can I remove the tax from a total to get the pre tax value ?

Total amount in A1

=A1/(1+0.175)

will give you the non taxed values

If I try to remove 17.5% (UK Value Added Tax) from a total it's also
calculating the additional 17.5% on the original value as well. How can I
get
to the true original value?
