According to that, corporate taxes are passed through at a rate of .24. And the pass-thru decreases as there’s more competition and for cheaper goods. In other words it’s a fairly progressive tax. Tariffs are a 100% pass-thru by definition because they’re a sales tax. This hits lower income people the hardest (unless we only tariff luxury goods).



Aren’t terrifs paid by the importer? Most consumers aren’t importing goods afaik. So it seems like there are still margins that can be eaten into to avoid 100% pass through.
