Case Summary:Walmart is settling a class action alleging that when customers bought items with coupons, it charged them sales tax on the original price of the item rather than on the price they actually paid for it. The complaint claims that Pennsylvania state law requires retailer to deduct the value of the coupons before calculating sales tax. The coupons at issue include store coupons, manufacturer’s coupons, and “buy one, get one free” discounts.
