How Tariffs Generate State Revenue
No source links recorded for this answer.
Tariffs act as taxes on imported or exported goods, meaning that each time a taxed product crosses a border, the government collects a fee on that transaction. This fee becomes a source of income, supplementing public finances without directly imposing taxes on domestic production or income.
