Hi 👋

I'm not sure I follow. Why would you want to collect tax on more than the amount you are going to charge?

#

so my charge is $10, then 5% GST means the total is $10.50 then i want to give them $2 off

#

so 8.50 is the total to pay

#

the $2 is just a loyalty dollar discount and it's not a sale/taxable item

#

we still need to charge 5% of $10 but right now, it's charging only 5% of $8 as the coupon is applied before tax is caulculated

#

Unfortunately we do not have a way to do that. All coupons are applied pre-tax.

#

Wait, you can achieve this behavior if your product uses an inclusive tax rate. Meaning that the amount you list for the price includes the tax to be collected

#

You can see an example of this here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/taxes/tax-rates#inclusive-tax-discount-example

#

The amount of tax calculated may appear a bit off but the total the customer pays will reflect $8.50 instead of $8.40

#

the gst amount is not quite correct even though the end charge is correct

#

Right, the calculation will look off

#

But the amount the customer pays will be what you expect.
