I think this is a British-ism. I'm British. The parent's post used tariff in a way I found normal. Google tells me:
tariff - noun:
BRITISH
a list of the fixed charges made by a business, especially for use of gas, electricity, or a mobile phone.
- dboreham 8y agoFwiw US telco-speak still uses tariff to mean price.
- civilian 8y agoIn American english tariff is usually used as "tax". Especially in the context of import & export taxes on goods and services. (E.g. The American colonies revolted over the tea tariff.)
