My guess would be on the full price because what you are paying for the item is the discounted price plus the coupon. When the merchant has to turn the sales tax over to the state, he has to pay what the item was "sold' for, which would be the fullprice. So if the ;merchant let you pay taxes on the discounted price he would end up having to pay additional sales tax, which is not something he would want to do.
