To wrap this up: I was honestly taken aback by the consistency. Couldn’t understand how these people could all support such a specific tax policy principle. I’ve even wondered out loud about this: https://twitter.com/phdskat/status/928017245376274432?s=21 … The paper at the top of this thread helps us make sense.
But is it the right question? I mean asking a shopper in Nike store 'should Nike pay tax here' .... is basically should shops pay tax....so answer is 'of course shops should pay tax, all shops pay tax so why shouldn't Nike'?
Is what the right question? I never said what the journalist had asked... I can’t recall precisely the exchanges. Would have to go find the tape. But my recollection is exactly that they were not ‘fed’ the sales tax idea - which is why I was surprised at the consistency.
Broader point of course is that someone else (the paper linked at the top) in fact did do a specific study on people’s attitudes to sales-based taxes
I'd want to go ask ppl buying Nikes in Unisport & ppl outside Ecco's headquarters 'should Ecco pay tax in Denmark or UK when shoes from sold to customer in London'... could do a whole study on tax policy intuition w different shoe brands & combinations. I wonder if consistent?
