each is often expressed as a percentage
I think the discount comes first and then the sales tax.
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.
Yes, a discount is permitted when the tax is compensated through the 20th day of the month where the tax arrives. The sales tax discount is 2% of tax due, to not exceed $50.
To find the discount on an item, multiply the original price by the discount percentage (expressed as a decimal), then subtract that amount from the original price. For sales tax, multiply the original price (or the price after discount) by the sales tax rate (also as a decimal). Finally, add the sales tax to the discounted price to get the total cost.
Tax is a mandatory financial charge imposed by the government on goods and services, which is added to the sale price and collected from the consumer. In contrast, a discount is a reduction in the price offered by a seller to encourage sales or reward customers. While tax increases the final cost for the buyer, a discount lowers it. Essentially, tax is a liability, whereas a discount is an incentive.
They both help to lessen the amount of tax owed

I think it's sales tax
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.
