“Tariff is a tax growth abroad and a tax cut for American people,” Levit says. This indicates a quick question from an unseen reporter. “Have you ever paid tariffs?” He asks, “I have. They don’t charge fees abroad.” Levit’s response is a brush-off: “I think it’s derogatory that you are trying to test my knowledge on economics.”

Most of the world as we knew that it has happened since Trump came back to the White House, but is the economics 101 for amendment? No if we can help it. This import tariff – or which we call custom duties in India – is a form of taxation true.

From a policy point of view, however, we should never lose sight that is finally a tax burden. Its occurrence, after all, may be different from its effect, it depends on how it is planted. If it is a direct tax, such as the fee paid on one’s income, then there is very little scope for confusion. Its incident becomes square on the taxpayer, which is legally responsible for its payment. Since this burden cannot be moved, it directly affects the payment of the payment. Such taxes are usually progressive, along with the rising scale of rates – so that rich people earn a larger part of their earnings than those who earn less.

In contrast, levies on products and services are called ‘indirect’ because these institutions that are bound to pay by law can pass the fee with their customers. Almost always, the final cost is borne by those who buy these items, as they pay high prices. An example GST is added to the bill. There is a tariff imposed on another import. It should be paid by importers, whether they are local traders or shipping goods in a country to sell units of foreign businesses locally.

In any way, tariffs translate bloated expenses for buyers of imported goods. Of course, they also act as trade barriers, so exporters in other countries face a slowdown in demand for their shipment, often leading to the sky in opposition or vengeance, but as a result of tariffs, foreigners do not get the tax coffers of the country. Nor can they increase enough revenue to achieve anything more than a little deduction in domestic taxes. However, what they can do, making a taxation system less justified on the whole.

Indirect taxes are naturally regressive. On each taxable object, an indirect levy withdraws money from rich and poor buyers at the same rate at the same rate, which means that the latter will have to pay a large piece of their income. This is unfair, but there is a lack of public clarity on who can take a shock, let a government get away from it.

There is no doubt, tariffs also have other important effects. Local market players can be enriched by exposure to value rivalry from abroad, for example, can make space to make place for chronies with arbitrary rates. It is difficult to exclude the game being played by Trump White House, as its tariffs make rhetoric for a long time, low and continuous flow on nuances. Nevertheless, it is clear that the American trade policy is packed to the world after truth.
