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 ?

You have been told repeatedly that tariffs and dutys apply to IMPORTS,
not EXPORTS. In one ear and straight out the other, as always with you.

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

No point in having one on apple stuff given that Britain
doesnt produce anything much like that anymore.
That's the whole point of tariffs, to encourage buyers
to buy the locally made stuff.

a tarrif in tax or a TIT

ALL tariffs are on imports.

so who will tell Apple to add this TIT to the price of their products ?

That isnt how tariffs work either. The importer pays the tariff/duty
and can do what it likes with the price of the products.

and do you think they will do it.

No point, Britain doesnt produce anything
that competes with Apple products anymore.

Same with VW or BMW or Ford, who in the EU
will instruct those componies to put a TIT on it

That isnt how tariffs work.

and do you really think they will.

They get no choice if Britain decides to impose a tariff/duty
on cars imported into Britain to encourage car buyers to
buy the cars that are still made in Britain. They get to like
it or lump it and the EU gets to do the same with cars
coming from Britain into the EU if they want to.
