The returns will be going to the companies, who raised the prices on us. So they get to double dip.

Key points from the article:
>President Donald Trump‘s administration plans to launch next Monday the system it will use for issuing refunds to American importers for $166 billion the companies paid in tariffs that the U.S. Supreme Court struck down in February as unlawful.
>U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a court filing on Tuesday that it has completed the development of the initial phase of the refund system, known as CAPE. The system will consolidate refunds so importers will receive one electronic payment, with interest when applicable, rather than processing refunds on an entry-by-entry basis.
>Tuesday’s filing said that as of April 9 some 56,497 importers had completed the process to receive electronic refunds for tariffs affected by the court’s ruling, an amount totaling $127 billion.
>The agency has said it plans to roll out the refund system in phases.

Great! Surely this will bring prices down and help us all!
Why’s everyone laughing?

American consumers won’t see a dollar of that refund, just like prices haven’t gone back down.
The_Jolly_Dog on
Absolutely infuriating. Trump fucked ALL Americans over here
and what’s insane is the mental gymnastics his moronic fans went thru to try and justify why these tariffs were a good idea. and now I’m sure they are going to do the same for this shit
god Trump needs to go

So prices won’t be coming down any time soon.

Ah yes. Consumers paid all this extra cash to companies because they were covering tariffs. And the refunds for these illegal collections will be returned to, the corporations, because fuck the little guy! American corporatism is so fucking gross.
YesterShill on
So, first Trump enacts a national sales tax and then companies get that tax refunded.
And people actually voted to get screwed.
justinkimball on
Cool so the importers, who passed the cost onto us, the consumers, will get a bunch of money and we’ll get fucked, as per usual.
Why can’t Trump be petty and spiteful here, and turn around and use the power of the government to regulate the fuck out of the companies who jacked up prices and are getting these refunds?
Instead we get Iran and now rumblings of cuba.

So we paid for it but the companies will get the refund. It was all a scam

This should have gone directly to consumers.

So consumers bought items at higher prices to pay for these tariffs, and now the companies that raised the prices are going to get a rebate funded by… taxpayer money??

It’s hard to fathom how much the American taxpayer has been turbo fucked by this administration (over both terms).

Howard and Brandon Lutnick need to be on trial in the next month or the country should strike
Howard pleaded for tariffs and he and his son purchased the costs at 20-30% cost, knowing this would happen and he would take 100 BILLION dollars
This is an inconceivable amount of money to probably 80% of the country. It’s time to get these people out of office. They are stealing our money

Look at the surprising speed with which the administration can put together a solution when rich people are the victims. We have always had the resources to solve our problem. The problem has always been that they don’t want to help everyday working Americans.

Oh yeah? So when the hell do we all as individual citizens get our money back?
JournalistRecent1230 on
So consumers were charged extra to cover the tariff costs for goods and services. And now our tax money is being used again to hand that money over to the ones who charged us more to begin with.
That’s like parents refusing to give their bully of a child money for lunch. So the bully punches me in the stomach for my lunch money. Then later that day, his parents come over and punch me again for more money and hand it to the bully.

You never know…he might just give everyone some checks like the covid stimulus checks 1st term in an attempt to wipe the Iran war and Epstein shit under the rug.
The covid checks actually convinced some idiots to vote for his 2nd term and , along with mass propaganda , magically made covid entirely Dem’s and Fauci‘s fault.
Are they actually admitting we paid the tariffs in the first place finally?
God I hate these fucking people.

ALSO – there are hundreds of thousands of student loan borrowers who won a lawsuit that secured loan dismissal for school that committed fraud. They’ve been waiting almost 2 years for payment – but don’t worry – Amazon will get their tariff refunds within weeks of this SCOTUS decision.

Put tariffs on items.
Companies pass tariff charges to consumers. Consumers pay tariffs.
Tariffs found illegal.
Refund tariffs to companies, who keep the refunded money.
Government doesn’t have tariff money any longer for public projects.
This was a giant transfer of wealth from the public to corporations.
Did I miss anything?

The ppl who actually got hurt by this will never see a dime. All back to corporations.
VitalMonkey on
Consumers won’t see a dime of it. Not like any company is going to lower their prices once they get that refund. Ducking despicable.

So now they’ll lower prices… RIGHT?!
Fuck this whole thing.
