Wow! I had no idea.

I have a curiosity question. Is sales tax calculated before or after the coupons? I'd be willing to bet it's before.

Q. If my customer uses a coupon when making a purchase; do I charge sales tax on the price before or after subtracting the coupon?

A. Sales and use taxes must be calculated on the sales price after all price reductions taken at the time of sale, including deduction taken because a coupon is presented by the buyer. (Partial answer)
