Yes, sales tax is added to actual purchase price, therefore explaining why a 50% code only seems to net a 45% discount.
It's a 50% discount off of what you would have paid without the discount code, however. Most people in North America are used to roughing out the number after taxes are added when making purchases (I work in retail and see this all day long). Perhaps the OP was an exception to the rule, and fair enough if so, but to me and to a lot of other North Americans, the net price actually would seem approximately 50% off, even after the taxes were added.
