1. Gee at those rates, no need to offshore our tax schemes.

[MichMan]

2. Aren't they just passed on to consumers like tariffs are?

What is the difference?

[Cirsium]

3. That's one point of view

Regulations, taxes, wages - those all "get passed on to consumers," so what's the point? That's the libertarian point of view.

8. OK

Not sure what you mean, then.

4. Perhaps, But...

...the taxes are paid on net income of revenues minus full absorbed cost.
So if they raise prices to adjust for taxes, they only need to adjust by the taxation % of the margins, not of the wholesale price.
The increase would then, in all likelihood, be 15-25% of the price.
The tariffs are applied on the wholesale price so it's a much larger fractional increase.
Conceptually, they are similar. In practice, they are quite dissimilar.

5. This is robbery nt

[Silent Type]

7. trump is a POS, but think those rates are incorrect. For example, FedEx didn't go from effective rate of 18% to 1%

because of trump's BBB.
