Gross Profit is calculated by subtracting "Cost of Sale" from net Revenue.
Other Income is added in GP and Expenses are subtracted to calculate "Profit before tax"

No.

Gross profit is only determined by operating income.

As answered by some friends "Other Income" is not included in GP.
Concept of other Income is "  Income earned from other than normal business transactions, mostly its disposal of fixed assets and Interest Income".

Well other incomes are treated after calculating Gross profit.
Because gross profit is claculted Revenues - cost of goods sold= Gross profit. 
other operating expenses and incomes from other sources are treated in net income portion.
Gross profit+other incomes - other expenses( operating, marketing etc) =  income before taxes Inome before taxes - taxes = net income

Other income is two types , other operating income & non-operating income , in internal reports both are not included in GP , externally the operating profit should be deducted from cost of sales ,but non-operating income should be in a separate line after fixed costs & financial costs.
