    my calculation is:
    price =200
    TD@10% =(20)
    CD@5% =(9)
    net amount=171
    so, sales tax=171×15%=$25.65
    I am clear so far..(sales tax is always calculated after all discount)
    but my confusion is about gross amount.
    is it $180+$26.65=$206.65 OR,
    $171+$26.65=$197.65
    plz sir help me n explain if needed..

    The gross amount is 206.65.

    If the customer does not pay within 15 days then they will pay the full 206.65.

    If they do pay within 15 days then they will only pay 197.65 and the remaining 9 goes to the discount allowed account.
