Am I entitled to a refund of the sales tax on a cancelled auto extended warranty?

I purchased a used car and an extended warranty. I cancelled the extended warranty within 30 days, and the booklet said I was entitled to a full refund. I received the basic amount but the dealer says I am not entitled to get the sales tax back. I think I am. What is the law?

If as part of your purchase of a used car you also purchased an extended warranty which could be cancelled within the first 30 days for a full refund where you paid sales tax on the extended warranty, you are entitled to a full refund. Meaning, the price you paid for the extended warranty and the sales tax as well under your agreement.

When I return things to the hardware store, I get the price I paid and the tax as well. Your situation should be no different.
