CA Sales Tax just added? Anyone else?

[NoBoB]

What are considered "system fees"? I had been paying $0.58 in tax which is what I would expect on my $7 DVR lease fee with my 8.25% tax rate (Santa Clara County, California). However, last month it went to $0.86 and this month it is $0.96. Something has changed.

I thought I pretty much spelled it out. The tax on the lease fee has always been there (since I own, I never paid that). Once the new tax requirements came about, they started taxing the additional receiver fee and the DVR fee on that second box (a 722). I suspect it also would include any other non-programming charge on your bill (HD enabling fee, etc).
