Discuss carefully the following quotation: "It is reasonable to assume . . . that business can pass along the full value of the [value-added] tax to final consumers. But if [it is assumed that] businesses have the power to raise prices a dollar for each dollar they pay in value-added taxes, then it should also [be] assume[d] businesses can similarly raise prices against every dollar they now pay in payroll and corporate income taxes" [Cockburn and Pollin, 1992, p. A15].
