You can put this solution on YOUR website! He should have.
It depends on who is paying for the discount. If it is from the store that is selling it then yes he should be able to pay the discounted price plus tax only on the discounted price.
But if it is from a coupon from the manufacturer, he has to pay tax on the before discount price.
