A discount and a sales tax both affect the final price of a product, but they do so in opposite ways. A discount reduces the initial price, allowing customers to pay less for an item, while a sales tax is an additional charge applied to the price, increasing the total cost. Both are calculated as percentages, but discounts are typically based on promotional offers, whereas sales tax is mandated by government regulations.
