Practice question: Impact and Incidence of Tax

Multiple Choice Easy

Practice question

When a buyer receives a separately stated VAT component on an invoice, does that statement alone prove who ultimately bears the economic cost after all available credits and pricing adjustments?
  1. Yes; invoice typography conclusively decides all later burden.
  2. Yes; every business buyer is a final household consumer.
  3. No; credits and actual economic arrangements must also be considered.
  4. No; because invoices can never contain tax information.
  5. Yes; a tax line transfers the seller's citizenship to the buyer.
