Yes! Somebody fix this, please! The current calculation process makes absolutely no sense. Although the final total is in fact calculated using sales tax derived from the discounted total, the "sales tax" line is based on the pre-discounted total. If that were correct, then I would be paying sales tax on non-existant revenue. Or worse, if I subtracted that inflated tax number from the sub total when determining my gross revenue, then I would always be under-reporting on my income tax. That's just asking for an audit. Luckily that won't happen because I noticed the problem, which is likely the case for 99.99% of users, but it is still misleading and takes away from an otherwise very useful service. I'm constantly explaining the issue to observant customers. Plus, it forces me to manually calculate the sales tax paid on every taxable sale--a tedious task that my invoice program should be doing for me.
