Year 2 - Govt raises taxes and taxes go up to 30%.
Company A (knowing taxes will be higher) raised the price of what it sells by 10% and has a pre-tax net revenue of $110k (it would in fact be higher but I will spare those details for you).
30% taxes are $33k yielding a post-tax profit of $77k.
Company A actually made more $$ and paid the higher tax rate. Oh wait, they passed the taxes on to the consumer. The fact that they can do this is because all other companies will too.

Don't forget to add in the cost of Pizzer being delivered will go up 10%. The cost fly will go up and anyhing made from plastice will go up !

But wait the increased tax won't be passed on to us ?
