Why must you first calculate a discount price on an item before calculating the total sales tax on the item?

The discount must be calculated first to get the base price of the item, then the tax percentage would be taken into consideration, otherwise you would be charging additional tax on an item which should be discounted in the first place. If you were to calculate tax first then the discount price, your total would be incorrect.

Is it more profitable for a retailer to pay your sales tax than give you a discount up front?

It will depend on the amount of sales tax in their jurisdiction and the amount of the discount. If the tax and the discount are the same, it is more beneficial to the purchaser to get the discount. To the Seller, it makes almost no difference! At 6% tax rate: On a $100 item -> You pay $100 and store pays $6 tax. Store gets to keep $94. On a $94 item ($100 with 6% discount)-> You pay $94 and you pay $5.64 tax (total $99.64). Store still gets to keep $94. There is a slight advantage to the store in that in most jurisdiction there is a tax free amount each month, to cover the cost of the bookkeeping and reporting of taxes, but in a big volume store, that will be a very small percentage of the total amount.
