Help with Coupon Tax Calculations

Hello,

We have created Fixed cart Discount coupons which we sell as Gift Cards to our clients. The Accounting rules that we use guide us to sell the GiftCard without sales tax and treat it as Deferred Revenue in our offline accounting. This means that when the customer applies the Giftcard they have to be charged sales tax on the actual product value.

Because Woo discounts the product by the value of the GiftCard the sales tax calculation in the Shopping Cart is reduced and we end up eating the loss.

Any fix that can be suggested for this is appreciated.

I imagine the easy fix is to add sales tax to the original Giftcard sale….but I hope that there is a better way to do this.
