Dear BLC community,

I'm currently evaluating BLC and so far, everything looks great. But there's one question that I have and it might be very trivial to answer it, but I just haven't found the right documentation to it.

Here's the use case:
I want to offer promotions - let's say, a 20% discount on the order level. A customer with a cart full of items valued 1000 bucks (original price) checks out. I have a simple tax module with a default tax of 8%. Fees are not taxed.

When I make the calculation on paper, i get the following result:
1000 CHF - 20% discount = 800 CHF excl. sales tax + 8% sales tax = 864 CHF incl. sales tax. + 20 CHF shipping = 884 CHF total

When I look at the BLC cart and the checkout process, it looks like that:
1000 CHF - 20% discount = 800 CHF excl. sales tax + 8% sales tax (of 1000???) = 880 CHF incl. sales tax + 20 CHF shipping = 900 CHF total

So my question boils down to: Shouldn't the sales tax be computed on the discounted price instead of the original price? With the latter calculation, the sales tax ends up to be 10% of the discounted price...

Many thanks for your answers and advice,
Stephan

Agree that this is how it should work. This issue is being addressed in version 2.3.

In the meantime, you can use an "item" level promotion and choose a rule that applies to all items to get the desired effect.
