Tax incidence

Compare and contrast the two interactions below to see the difference in imposing a tax on a good with inelastic demand and one with elastic demand.

• Tax burden - inelastic demand

If you would prefer to view this interaction in a new web window, then please follow the link below:

• Tax burden - elastic demand
