In my area, discount coupons need to be applied to the pre-tax total. Sales tax is only needed to be collected for the final amount being charged to the customer. It appears that the current action handles the coupons as a form of payment and deducts the coupon value from the overall amount due, which means we are charging too much in sales tax based on my local state's sales tax rules. Can this be an option for a future release to apply coupons before or after tax, similar to the current option flag available for discounts? Is there an available work-around or minor code change that would give me this functionality today?

Also, is it possible to disable the showing on the order of both "Total with VAT" and "Total without VAT". I personally would prefer to have it just show the product total, coupon value (if any), tax, shipping, total.
