    Recently returned DVR charged sales tax for shipping

    I canceled Dish and had to return the DVR, they sent the box with label. I sent it back UPS. Now I get a bill for the return $15.00 and $0.90 sales tax. Is it legal to charge sales tax on return shipping? Bad enough I had to pay to return their equipment but sales tax or just another Dish scam?
