How is the final price after discount calculated?

Final price = original price × (1 − discount ÷ 100). If sales tax applies, it is calculated on the discounted price: final price × (1 + tax ÷ 100).

Should sales tax be applied before or after the discount?

Sales tax is applied after the discount. The discount reduces the taxable amount, so you pay tax only on the sale price.
