Tax after discount on invoice

[JayV30]

Hi! I've searched around but can't seem to find an answer to this.

I've tooled around in my invoices I'm creating but I can't seem to find a way for the invoice to calculate tax AFTER discounts are applied.  I need this for my books to add up correctly.  I also recently overcharged a customer because of this (I wasn't paying close enough attention).

As it stands now, I can select the tax rate on individual full price line items.  Then I apply my 20% discount, but the total tax calculated at the end is based on the full price of the items.  Please someone help!  Otherwise I can't use this product, or I have to apply everything manually which is just a pain.

Thanks for any help!

Has anyone come up with a solution for this yet? Hard to believe Paypal is letting ths one go. We are all in jeapardy of fraud charges until this is corrected.

My solution to this was, instead of using the discount field at the bottom of paypals invoice I enter the discount as an item with a negative sum including tax.

I hope this helps.
