Tech industry is in tariff hell, even if refunds are automated - Lemmy.World

“$700 million in interest is added to the final bill every month that the government delays tariff refunds, or around $23 million per day.”

It’s insane that the American tax payers paid more for products, and now they get to pay interest on their illegal payments, and all of that money goes into the coffers of private companies — who will no doubt use it to issue special dividends to their investors and bonuses to their execs.

Can’t it be claimed as a tax refund? If not, why? Just claim it and sue if it’s not paid out. I feel it’s a refundable expense, no?
