Commission Calculation

Should an e-Commerce operator working on Dropshipping modelcalculate this commission on the Base Price of a product or on Base Price + GST? 

For example, if the Base Price of a product supplied by the vendor is 1000, GST is 18%  then should the e-Commerce Operator apply his commission of 25% on 1000 or 1180?  Thanks in advance.
