WooCommerce Core Updates:

Use tax location from order while computing tax in discount (26983)

  1. Set price inclusive of taxes and any rate for a specific country other than your shop base address.
  • For example: the shop's base address could be set to the US, and then enter a tax rate for another country, such as 25% for India, making sure that there is no other tax applied like so:
  1. Add a coupon for 10% and add a product for a price of 242. (This could be any price -- if it's different then modify numbers in next step accordingly).
  2. Complete an order for this product as a guest user in an incognito window or different browser. Make sure to use an address for the other country (such as India from the example in step 1 above).
  3. Open the order in the WooCommerce > Orders view, and set the order status to Pending Payment and click "Update".
  4. Add the coupon. Note that previously, before this fix, the discount will be calculated on the final amount instead of the pre-tax amount (so the discount will be more than it should be). With this fix, the discount will be calculated before taxes are applied.
  • In above case, with this fix, the discount should be 19.36 (193.6 at 10%), whereas before this change, the discount would have been 24.20 (242.2 at 10%).
