bsmither Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Taking a survey: How does your taxing authority tax the price of goods that are on sale? * The tax is calculated against the actual sub-total paid? * The tax is calculated against the product's normal selling price? * There is a taxing difference between the product's price on sale vs. a coupon's discount? There is a difference in some locales between a 'coupon' and an 'instant-rebate'. A coupon has the price reduced before payment, with appropriate tax consequences, while a rebate has the merchant effectively returning some of the money you paid immediately back to you, perhaps with no tax consequences (really?).

Dirty Butter Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 In Alabama, USA, coupons are subtracted before sale tax is calculated. When I buy something online from the US that has a rebate I pay sales tax on the full price (IF they charge it) and then get the rebate amount back - but do not get any adjustment for the amount I paid in tax. Online sales tax laws are in the process of changing here in the US, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
