I don't understand why you are looking at net profit, taxes are computed after payroll costs are taken out. Sure there will be some interests to be paid, buy I don't see how gross is more wrong than met here.
If you want to make that argument than use earnings before taxes, not gross profit which excludes the cost of everything from operations to debt service

Operating margin is the correct pre tax number to look at. It deducts operating expenses but not interest and taxes.
