The government imposes taxes to increase the income it receives, both buyers and sellers are worse off when there is a change in the goods, if a tax increases the price that buyers pay and reduces the price that sellers receive

Taxes affect economic welfare, so consumer decline and consumer welfare must be compared to the revenue collected by the government.

The cost of taxes to buyers and sellers is greater than the revenue collected by the government

Whether a tax on a good is imposed on the buyer or the seller of that good, the result is the same.

When buyers pay the tax, the demand curve shifts down, when sellers pay the tax, the supply curve shifts up.

When the tax is applied, the price paid by the buyer increases and the price received by the seller decreases.

Taxes cause deadweight losses because they prevent buyers and sellers from taking advantage of the benefits of exchange. The deadweight loss is the loss of surplus.

valentinamunos — 2023-04-16 23:46:39 UTC

The price elasticity of both supply and demand is a determinant of deadweight

valentinamunos — 2023-04-16 23:49:03 UTC

The larger the elasticities of supply and demand, the larger the deadweight loss caused by the tax.
