The consumer pays the tax.
- bryanrasmussen 7y agoIf the consumer pays the tax the prices rise, if the prices rise the consumer goes elsewhere, therefore you look at if you can reduce pollution, reduce the tax and keep the cost for the user the same hopefully leading over time to more of that wonderful thing - profit.
- cheez 7y agoIf the price of everything goes up 15%, you can't pocket that 15% if you spend money to reduce price by 15%. Inertia dictates that the tax will be permanent. But I hope you're right of course.
