Cash Register… How Do I …
Charge
Sales Tax on Price BEFORE Credits Applied?
Some states charge a Barter Tax. That is, tax is computed on the items before credits are applied.
In other words if a customer buys $10.00 worth of books, and uses $10.00 of his credits, you would still charge tax on the original $10.00.
See Configuration Sales Taxes
