A tariff is just another word for a duty and both are a tax.


Like VAT you mean that we pay while in teh EU but those not in the EU
get the VAT back. So yes a tax leveled on those in the EU.


There are sales taxes in your favourite US that only those in the US pay.
They don't apply to exports.


So the USA doesn't put a tarrif on computers we buy in Europe does it ?

Most countries have some form of local sales tax that isn't applied to
exports. In the UK it was purchase tax before VAT.


So we'll have a new tax then when we leave the EU a tarrif in tax or a TIT so who will tell Apple to add this TIT to the price of their products ?

and do you think they will do it.

Same with VW or BMW or Ford, who in the EU will instruct those componies to put a TIT on it and do you really think they will.
