If the item is taxable (and clothing in many places isn't), the discount is normally handled like this: If it provided by the retailer...the one your buying it from..as in $21 jeans on sale for $15 - the tax is on the sale amount of $15. If it is actually provided by the manufacturer... as in $21 jeans with manufacturer rebate now $15 - the tax is on the entire $21. (The manufacturer is paying the retailer the additional $6 for you....but the sale is really a $21 sale. Just apply the tax rate to the correct sales price (agreeably there may be some rounding for a 1c or so).
