modify_tax_basis

string

Indicates whether this discount should reduce the price used to calculate tax.

Most discounts should use MODIFY_TAX_BASIS. However, in some circumstances taxes must be calculated based on an item's price, ignoring a particular discount. For example, in many US jurisdictions, a manufacturer coupon or instant rebate reduces the price a customer pays but does not reduce the sale price used to calculate how much sales tax is due. In this case, the discount representing that manufacturer coupon should have DO_NOT_MODIFY_TAX_BASIS for this field.

If you are unsure whether you need to use this field, consult your tax professional.

maximum_amount_money

For a percentage discount, the maximum absolute value of the discount. For example, if a 50% discount has a maximum_amount_money of $20, a $100 purchase will yield a $20 discount, not a $50 discount.
