I have a question with my bill. Does D* tax you then they apply the credits, or apply the credits then tax you? For some reason they are taxing me $0.16 more then what I get when I add and subtract everything.

Here's my charges for each month:
Normal ChargesFeesDiscounts
$68.99 - Classic Xtra$6.00 - Add. TV$10.00 (CR) Refer a Friend
$5.99 - Protection Plan$6.00 - Add. TV$0.60 (CR) - Tax Adjustment
$10.00 - HD$6.00 - Add. TV$10.00 (CR) - Free HD Access
$8.00 - DVR+ $6.00 - Pri. TV$6.00 (CR) - Pri. TV
+ $3.00 - MRV---------------------------------------
-----------------$24.00$26.60 (CR)
$95.98

$95.98
+$24.00
--------------
$119.98
- $26.60
--------------
$93.38
x .06 (PA - 6%)
-----------
$5.60
+ $93.38
-----------
$98.98

Above is what I get when I do the math. Some how D* is getting $5.76 for a total of $99.14. I know it's only $0.16 but I'd like to figure out how they are getting this. So if anyone could help I'd appreciate it.

Hello andrewj0781,

I do know that the tax rules are different in each state so a call to your tax authority should help you with your concern about how much DirecTV collects for the state of Pennsylvania. As a general rule states attempt to collect the maximum amount of tax possible on your total prior to any discount(s) you may get.
