Refund Calculation Example =     Student purchased an 8 month (Sept – Apr) Serviced Space in 2022 at a price of $370.09 + tax

Student wanted to cancel permit February 1st of 2022.   Student has already used 6 months of parking.

$72.30 + tax (non discounted monthly serviced rate)  X 5 months used = $361.50 + tax

Therefor: $370.09 + tax – $361.50 +tax = $8.59 + tax is Refundable
