I recently purchased a computer which crashed after I bought it and I returned it for a refund but was not refunded the sales tax I paid. I am in Nevada and it was purchased at a local retailer.

You should get the sales tax back, however they may charge a restocking fee and that might have been it.

The general consensus is absolutely right on-your total cost should be refunded to you. However, some companies do charge a restocking fee. That doesn't seem like it should apply to you, though, since the computer was returned because it was damaged (their fault, not yours). Go back to the retailer and ask why the total amount wasn't refunded. The clerk may have simply entered something incorrectly in the system.

Go back to the retailer that sold you the computer. They MUST refund the sales tax. Sales taxes are only collected and remitted on net sales after adjustments for returns.

Yes, the sales tax must be refunded if you return an item.
