    You’re just making shit up.

    I’m saying that the business is the one who was invoiced for the tariff. The customer wasn’t. The business increased the price to cover their extra cost, probably even added some extra profit on top as well, but that still doesn’t mean the customer actually paid the tariff. They didn’t. The tariff is paid on import, not sale.

      So if the customer paid more to cover the cost, why are the businesses entitled to a refund… that will come from the taxpayers?

        Because that’s not how buying and selling products works. The business chose to increase the price due to increased costs. As you said , it was an increased cost to the business - so why would the customer get the refund?

        The tariff was paid on import, not on sale.
