The question is not what percentage they pay of income, that has no bearing what so ever on how much they can reduce their price with the elimination of the tax. If you pay over a third of your income in taxes, the elimination of those taxes would have no effect on the price you have to charge to still receive the same after-tax income?

You need to compare the tax savings with gross sales to say how much you can reduce prices. But you don't like to do that because it shows how little those savings actually are.

THINK!
You cannot eliminate those taxes from the price you'd have to charge...
Since you haven't paid any tax, your income would not be after tax. Your income would be BEFORE tax.
