Can OWL model calculation knowledge

Hi,
   
  I have encountered a problem that how to use OWL to model the knowledge of calculation.
  A simple example can be seen as the following:
   
  The knowledge about calculating tax is expressed as:
  Tax = TotalAmount * taxRate
   
  I could not figure out a way to do it in OWL.
  Can OWL only express the logical relations among classes?
  Please help? Many thanks!
