Step 2: Calculate the amount of sales tax before the reduction. Sales tax before = Marked price x Sales tax rate before Sales tax before = 8000 x 0.0433 = Rs. 346.4

Step 3: Calculate the amount of sales tax after the reduction. Sales tax after = Marked price x Sales tax rate after Sales tax after = 8000 x 0.025 = Rs. 200

Step 4: Calculate the difference in the amount of sales tax. Difference = Sales tax before - Sales tax after Difference = 346.4 - 200 = Rs. 146.4
