Taxes always calculate cost of goods sold minus cash discount in invoice only.
The invoice amount caculation will be as follows.
item price x item amount = item subtotal.
( item subtotal - item discount ) + item tax = item total.
( item total - invoice discount ) + invoice tax = invoice amount.

The correct analysis for cash discount
cash discount is an expense for the seller and income for the purchaser so the cost would be the total value.
i.e. actual cost - 2,10,000/- , cash discount shown in p&l for seller.
