Costs going up or down may or may not affect the price. What does not change however is that the end user is paying ALL the costs on tbat product or service and that means they pay all the taxes.
How is it possible if they pay for all the costs if costs going up may not effect the price? Now, answer my question in my prior post.
I think what you may be getting at, is the product/service doesn't get produced unless there is some producer surplus (profit), which is true - the firm will shut down. That isn't what we've been talking about, though, and isn't the issue with tariffs in 99% of the cases. I have purposefully not even made it more complicated to show it, which I can as there are a lot of other things to consider we haven't even discussed.
Are you serious? If costs increase maybe you take a pay cut and don’t raise your price there are a lot of possibilities. If costs increase significantly or you are already close to your margins You have no choice but to raise prices. You must be kidding, No one can’t be this dense and work in the financial sector. If you are serious don’t let your employer read this or you may lose your job. Taxes are costs dude. Your price will include all costs and hopefully a margin of profit. If you have a little wiggle room in your margins you can sometimes absorb an increase in costs, sometimes not. I really think this subject is beyond your understanding.
My posts have nothing to do with tariffs. My post was directly addressing the statement “businesses don’t pay taxes”. You have been going on about how that is not really true.
