Subtotal vs Subtotal (Excl. Tax) when creating a condition for discount rule

Question

I'm creating a coupon code with a minimum order amount. While adding a condition, I'm not sure the difference between Subtotal and Subtotal (Excl. Tax). Could anyone help?

Answer 1

If you have a tax rule defined and the criteria is met for the customer i-e country etc, then the subtotal will be including tax and it's called just subtotal and if it's not then there won't be any tax on that subtotal and in that case it's called Subtotal(Excl.Tax). Or you can say if you want to apply rule on subtotal but with tax excluding then select Subtotal(Excl.Tax) and vice versa.
