Question

Suppose the government in your city imposes a $0.50 excise tax on gasoline. the burden of this tax falls on:_____.

Answer 1

Let's say that gasoline is subject to a $0.50 excise tax in your city. This tax affects both buyers and sellers equally.

Depending on the elasticity of demand and supply, a tax's burden is split between purchasers and sellers. Depending on their alternatives, buyers' and sellers' desire to exit the market is represented by elasticity. The relationship between supply and demand price elasticity and tax incidence is also possible. The tax burden is placed on the purchasers when supply is more elastic than demand. The cost of the tax will be borne by the producers if demand is more elastic than supply.
