Makes me wonder if they will be claiming the sales tax refund themselves and keeping it out of spite for the lost sale, expecting that you will never get around to filing the claim yourself.

It does seem odd. Imagine if you had to file a claim for a sales tax refund every time you returned something to Best Buy.

But, considering that this is a car purchase and the warranty was purchased at the same time, it's possible that the dealer does forward the sales tax on the car & warranty (along with the registration fees, etc) after each sale.
