Good afternoon.
I recently started implementing discounts. I have them set up to come out before any sales tax is applied, so, in essence, the sales taxes are applied after the discount. (These are service discounts such as Holiday Promotions, Birthday Deals, etc.)
When I'm viewing the transaction details so that I can record the transaction on the database I use to calculate taxable income and Sales Taxes, etc, the transaction details show the Total Fee before the discount, then any tip, then it will show the discount, but the sub-total does not subtract the discount.
This forces me to do the math backwards to determine what the "taxable fee" should be (after the discount).
By "taxable fee" I mean Sales Tax, not Income Tax. The math is correct when viewing the transaction. For Instance:
Service Fee: $80
Tip: $25
Birthday Disc.: ($25)
Subtotal: $80
The math here is obviously correct.
I'm paying income taxes on $80. That's all great. But...for Sales Tax purposes, that's not the case.
The transaction details then show this:
Subtotal: $80
Sales Tax: $4.59
Total: $80.59
(*Again, Math is correct), but I really wish somewhere on the transaction details the Amount that the Sales Tax was applied to would show up in the details. That amount is the Fee after Discount but before tip. The Sales Taxes weren't applied to the $80, they were applied to $55).
**This only seems to be an issue for Cash or Check Transactions, not Credit Card Transactions.**
Anyone know of a solution for this?
