Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Here all of these options are wrong , the correct answer is regardless of how the tax is levied the burden of tax would be shared by both the seller and buyer.

Explanation:

Tax can be said as primary source of income for the government. When a tax is levied on the goods , the burden of that would have to be bear by both buyer and seller , irrelevant of how that levied . If the taxes are high then the demand by buyer would be less and seller would receive low price because less people would buy and n the case where taxes are low demand would be high and seller would receive high prices ,in both cases tax would be levied on both seller and buyer and how much it would be depends upon the elasticity of demand and supply. So all the statements given here are false or invalid.

Business competitiveness:If one country has a much higher rate of inflation than others for a considerable period of time, this will make its exports less price competitive in world markets.

Inflation is a financial risk that investors take on when they invest internationally. While efforts can be made to increase liquidity during times of crisis, inflation can strongly influence bond prices and equities to a lesser degree.
