i've seen both cases but either way the diff is either $1 or $2, who freaking cares?

talk to your accountant for a fxxking $1
they would laugh at what a freaking cheap ass you are

it depends on whether you view the coupon as a "gift card" or a price reduction

if a price reduction, then you charge tax on only the reduced amount
if you view it as a "gift card", then the gift card can only be applied after the full tax is charged

there's no clear law that says whether a coupon is a gift card or a price reduction
as long as the company submits whatever tax they charge you to the gov and not keeping it themselves, they are doing the right thing.

and no, i don't care how they charge as long as I think it's a good deal to me.

how much they make from all other customers is no concern to me.  All I care is whether i am getting a good deal.

"Plus you don't know how Groupon pays the vendor.  Whatever it is, the value vendor receives has to be higher than the face value of the groupon."

The vendor gets paid 50% of the money you pay to groupon. So a $25 for $50 groupon gives the vendor $12.50.
