Tariff if it is related to goods purchased is a direct expenditure and has to be debited to the trading account.\n\nOtherwise it is to be debited to the profit and loss account as it forms indirect expenditure.\n\nhttp://www.futureaccountant.com/accounting-process/

Sorry - I'm not smart......\n\nbut I can google:  http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/history/A0846474.html\n\nStamp Act, 1765, revenue law passed by the British Parliament during the ministry of George Grenville. The first direct tax to be levied on the American colonies, it required that all newspapers, pamphlets, legal documents, commercial bills, advertisements, and other papers issued in the colonies bear a stamp. The revenue obtained from the sale of stamps was designated for colonial defense; while the means of raising revenue was novel, the application of such revenue to defense continued existing British policy. The act was vehemently denounced in the colonies by those it most affected: businessmen, merchants, journalists, lawyers, and other powerful persons. Among these were Samuel Adams, Christopher Gadsden, Patrick Henry, John Dickinson, John Lamb, Joseph Warren, and Paul Revere. Associations known as the Sons of Liberty were formed to organize opposition to the Stamp Act. Merchants boycotted English goods; stamp distributors were forced to resign and stamps were destroyed; and the Massachusetts legislature, at the suggestion of James Otis, issued a call for a general congress to find means of resisting the law. The Stamp Act Congress,. which met in Oct., 1765, in New York City, included delegates from New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Delaware, South Carolina, Maryland, and Connecticut. The congress adopted the Declaration of Rights and Grievances; it declared that freeborn Englishmen could not be taxed without their consent, and, since the colonists were not represented in Parliament, any tax imposed on them without the consent of their colonial legislatures was unconstitutional. Faced with a loss of trade, Parliament repealed the Stamp Act in 1766.

freight prices were higher.  The government wouldn't let people carry anything they wanted or go where ever they wanted.  You had to have special authority to transport goods; consumer, chemical, agriculture, etc.  Sometimes you couldn't even take a load that started and ended in the same state...you had to cross state lines.  With the competition kept out of taking loads, freight prices stayed high.  After deregulation, a lot of the red tape is down, but that means more competition. Rates came down, but people are able to get work, so which is better?  depends on your politics I guess.

First of all prices of resources are supposed to be set by supply, demand, and production costs.\n\nI have done considerable research and found that Thomas Jefferson tried to link set amounts of Gold-Silver-Copper-Wheatgrains and labor {man hours needed to produce these products} together to accomplish stable prices, for all products, without inflation.\nIf you are an American you may have read that Gold and Silver, used as money, is still mandated by the U.S. Constitution. The USA had almost zero inflation for about 130 years under the Gold standard. \n\nUnfortunately, Jefferson couldn't predict the supply and demand side of the equation.\nWhich in some cases, in later years,  produced governmental pricing of products, a practice now outlawed which is called, price fixing.\n\nThe bottom line is:\nProducers add costs of production and a profit into the price they charge for the finished product. If they have a monopoly on their product, they can charge anything they want. That's why compitition on products keeps prices lower.\n\nGovernments are not in the business of producing products. Therefore, it is my opinion they are not qualified to set prices on products.\n\nOne other point, the dollar is supposed to get it's value by adding together the value of a country's resources, and subtracting the amount of government debt incurred. However using unbacked paper money, prices on resources can be inflated to overcome the debt burden side of the equation, to give the illusion of a strong dollar, on the world market. \n\nI hope this answer is somewhat understandable.

The aversion to the slave trade was growing by the mid-nineteenth century, and in 1848, Henry “Box” Brown made history by having himself nailed into a small box and shipped from Richmond to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, escaping slavery to the land of freedom.\n\nAt the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, the strategic location of the Tredegar Iron Works was one of the primary factors in the decision to make Richmond the Capital of the Confederacy. From this arsenal came the 723 tons of armor plating that covered the CSS Virginia, the world’s first ironclad used in war, as well as much of the Confederates' heavy ordnance machinery. In 1861, Jefferson Davis was inaugurated as President of the Confederate States of America. One month later Davis placed Richmond under martial law. Two months after Davis’ inauguration, the Confederate army fired on Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina, and the Civil War had begun. The Seven Days Battle followed in June of 1862. Four years later in April 1865 Ulysses S. Grant and the Union Army captured Richmond, one week later, Robert E. Lee's retreating Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House symbolically ending the war. In 1865, on Evacuation Sunday, large parts of the city were destroyed in a fire set by retreating Confederate soldiers.\n\nMonument Avenue was laid out in 1887, with a series of monuments at various intersections honoring the city's Confederate heroes. Included (east to west) were J.E.B. Stuart, Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson, and Matthew F. Maury. Richmond is the final resting place of both Stuart and Davis (see Hollywood Cemetery).\n\n \nAn historic postcard showing electric trolley-powered streetcars in Richmond, Virginia, where Frank J. Sprague successfully demonstrated his new system on the hills in 1888. The intersection shown is at 8th & Broad Streets.Richmond had the first successful electrically-powered trolley system in the United States. Designed by electric power pioneer, Frank J. Sprague, the trolley system opened its first line in January, 1888. Richmond's hills, long a transportation obstacle, were considered an ideal proving ground. The new technology soon replaced horse-powered streetcars.

No-one alive to-day suffered from the slave trade,& no one alive to-day profited from it,so why should innocent people pay compensation to to people who haven't suffered?It doesn't make sense.

1921\n\n\nSales Taxes consist of two types: excise and general sales. The excise tax is placed on specified commodities and may be at specific rates or on an ad valorem basis. The general sales tax may be a manufacturers' excise tax, a retail sales tax paid by consumers, a "gross income" tax applied to sales of goods and provision of services, or a "gross sales" tax applied to all sales of manufacturers and merchants.\n\nDuring the nineteenth century several states adopted tax levies resembling sales taxes. The sales tax in its modern form was first adopted by West Virginia in a gross sales tax in 1921. During the 1930s, many states adopted the sales tax in its various forms as a replacement for the general property tax that had been their chief source of income.\n\nThe adoption of sales taxation slowed somewhat during the 1940s, but became more popular after World War II. At the end of 1971, forty-five states and the District of Columbia levied a sales tax in some form.\n\nA corollary of the sales tax is the use tax. This is a charge levied on taxable items bought in a state other than the state of residence of the purchaser for the privilege of using the item in the state of residence. The rate structure is the same as that of the sales tax. Automotive vehicles are the most significant item in the yield of use taxes.\n\nThe rate structure used in the general sales tax is proportional; that is, the rate is constant as the base increases. For ease of administration and determination of the tax due, bracketing systems have been adopted by nearly all states. The rates in use in the mid-1970s varied from 2 percent to a high of 7 percent; 4 percent was the most common rate. A combination of state and local rates may exceed 7 percent. A selective sales tax applying to a single commodity may have much higher rates. At the time of initial adoption of many of the sales taxes in the 1930s, tokens were used for the collection of the tax on small sales where the tax was less than one cent. Ohio used stamps to show that the tax had been collected. Nearly all these systems have been abandoned in favor of collection of the tax in full-cent increments.\n\nSeveral forms of sales taxes have been used abroad. Canada has used a manufacturers' excise in the belief that a levy at that level of the distribution process offers fewer administrative problems because of the small number of business units with which to deal. The value-added tax has been extensively used in Europe and has been adopted by the European Economic Community nations as a major revenue source with the goal of uniform rates within each member nation. During the 1950s and early 1960s, Michigan used a business receipts tax that was an adaptation of the value-added tax.\n\nSpecific sales taxes on selected commodities have long been used by the states. Selective sales taxes were used in the colonial period, with liquor the most frequently taxed commodity. Gasoline was selectively taxed by Oregon in 1919. The disadvantage of specific sales taxes is that they do not produce the revenues a general sales tax does. During World War II a national sales tax was proposed, but no action was taken by Congress. The proposal has been revived periodically, but changes in personal and corporate income taxes have been preferred over a national sales tax.\n\nA great deal of attention is given to the regressive effect of the sales tax because an individual with a low income spends a greater portion of his or her income on consumption goods that are taxed than do those with higher incomes. When the necessities of food and clothing are excluded from the sales-tax base, the regressive effect is reduced.\n\nThe impact of sales taxes is on the seller, for in nearly all cases he makes the payment to the state. However, the incidence or final resting place of the tax burden is on the purchaser of the taxed commodity or service; the price increases or the price is constant, but t

They didn't spend it. They just haven't come to an agreement on the budget for this year. There's strong disagreement between the pro-commonwealth governor and the pro-statehood legislature. They were also trying to introduce a sales tax (there's no sales tax in PR) and couldn't agree to a percentage amount. Both sides seem to have forgotten who they are working for, the people, and because of their stubbornness we find ourselves in the current situation.

I admitt to this being a guess but I would think it would be the American colonists. The Boston Tea Party was in 1773 and more and more American's were refusing to drink tea because of the tax.

All we have to do is change the rules. Bring back the tariffs that Reagan weakened. The corporations want to set up shop overseas no problem more power to you, but if you want to bring your goods back it will cost you to the point that they will have to set up in both countries or just stay here. Right now if China wants to ship and sell a car in American they pay 2% tariff but if we want to sell cars in China we pay 20% tariff and in S. Korea we let them sell cars here but we can`t sell cars there. How is this fair trade?

Yeah, could be the Articles of Confederation.  Or it could be the Mayflower Compact...the settlers had written that up before they even arrived.

The Underwood Tariff Act was passed by Congress in 1913 during the administration of Woodrow Wilson that lowered tariffs on hundreds of items that could be produced more cheaply in the United States than abroad. Sponsored by Representative Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama (1862-29), the tariff reduced the rates of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff (1909) by about 10 percent. As the first bill since the Civil War to lower tariff rates, the Underwood Tariff included an income tax to make up for the loss in revenues caused by the lower tariffs.

This sounds like a homework question to me. Sorry, I won't help you. I feel you need to read BOTH and you come up with the answer. You need to know these things.\n\nI will tell you this. The North distorted the truth about the Civil War or War between the States.  The war was NOT fought because of slavery. The north had slaves too. They were fighting over textiles, cotton, land, resources it was all economic.

I think what you are referring to is actually duty.  \nTo find out how much duty you may have to pay you can check out the following link, it is free to register.\nhttp://www.apectariff.org/\nClick on the link of the country YOU ARE FROM as that is what determines the amount of duty you would pay as each country sets their own rate of duties.\nIt is not updated as often as your country's official tariff schedule, but it should give you a good idea.\nPlus here you can search by description!\nHope this helps!
