Reciprocal Tariff: What is a Reciprocal Tariff, which has created a ruckus in the world, know what harm it does to the common man..
Reciprocal Tariff: Many taxes are levied by the government in the country including income tax, GST, and surcharge. Now discussions have also started about reciprocal tariffs or taxes. However, this tax is going to be imposed not by India but by America on some countries of the world. President Donald Trump has announced to imposition of a reciprocal tax on China, India, Canada, and Mexico. Trump argues that these countries impose a lot of tariffs on America, so we will also impose reciprocal tariffs on these countries. If Trump's experts from home and abroad are to be believed, Trump's reciprocal tariff can harm the global economy, as well as increase inflation all over the world. Let us tell you what this reciprocal tax is.
What is the reciprocal tariff
Every country imports and exports petrol-diesel, gas and other goods from each other and this system is international trade. In international trade, a tariff is a kind of border duty or tax, which is imposed on goods coming from abroad.
Reciprocal literally means "We will do as you do". Since Donald Trump says that India, China, Canada, and Mexico impose higher taxes on America, we will also impose higher tariffs on them.
Benefits of this tariff
Reciprocal tariff is imposed for equality and fairness in trade. At the same time, the income of the government increases through this tax. One reason for imposing this tariff is that it promotes domestic production in the country, which is cheaper than the goods coming from other countries. Reciprocal taxes are imposed so that no one country gets more benefit.
Disadvantages of reciprocal tax
Reciprocal tax also affects the mutual trade relations and inflation of the two countries. If both countries increase the tariff repeatedly, it has a bad effect on the economy, and the fear of a trade war starts to spread. Due to the increase in tariffs, foreign goods become expensive and consumers suffer.
Let us tell you that the imposition of reciprocal tariffs on India by the US will have a deep impact. In particular, some sectors including textiles and pharma are likely to suffer huge losses.
