Businesses can claim refunds starting Monday for Trump tariffs declared unconstitutional

So businesses will claim refunds and the money will go directly to them, but the people who payed more for the goods taxed are still out their money. The companies will post record profits next quarter, their stock prices will rise making the shareholders (already wealthy) more wealthy and the average American is poorer for it and the prices will never go back down. All part of the plan.

What about individuals who paid tariffs to import things?

Meanwhile we all remained fucked

not a single (now extinct) penny of that money is ever coming back to us, the people who \*actually\* paid the unconstitutional tariffs by way of the companies' increased prices. Also, the companies aren't going to lower their prices now that they're not being charged the tariffs either.

Are these businesses going to refund the extra money they charged consumers?

So corporations passed on the tariffs to customers and now they are getting a refund on that money? I don't know about anyone else, but this country is starting to make my ass hurt.

So to recap: Your tax dollars were used in the implementation and collection of these tariffs Your tax dollars were used to defend these tariffs in court Your tax dollars were used to setup and implement this refund process Are we winning yet?

The businesses passed them on to the consumer. So when does the average American consumer get our cut?

Holy shit are you guys ever fucked down there.

>Companies must submit declarations listing the goods on which they collectively put billions of dollars toward the import taxes the court subsequently struck down. If CBP approves a claim, it will take 60-90 days for a refund to be issued, the agency said. ***If?*** If? What is this if shit? And why 60-90 days? Are they staffing for this? Or is CBP still singularly devoted to rounding up migrants?

So then how do the customers get their refunds? The answer is they don’t. Consumers, the American people, paid the tariffs via higher prices; and now we get to use our tax dollars to refund businesses for costs they already passed onto us. And in most case, those higher prices aren’t coming back down. The American consumer loses again. Businesses get a fat check, courtesy of the American people.

Is this another wealth transfer since ALL of these businesses are double dipping?

Lol The people who actually paid them just get screwed. Handouts for the rich again, poor people get rekt.

Glad to get screwed over again, I truly hate this country now all thanks to MAGA and Trump.

We lost our 13 yr old Brewery and taproom due to tariffs because our plan for regrowth (Covid recovery) started in 2023 by building out extra refrigeration systems next door (instead of renting fridge space miles away) so we could build back enough can stock for distribution requirements, this is what happened Jan 2025 The landlord raises rent on both spaces and sales begin trending down. Feb 2025 The distribution Co started dropping products and clients. All refrigeration equipment significantly went up in price. March 2025 Our aluminum distributor stopped making cans along with many others due to price increases. Sept 2025 Closed our doors. Even though we never paid the tariff fees from shipping yards we still paid the price in the end and there is nothing for us to get back. This is why all of your favorite small mom and pop shops are going under in our towns. I hope all of those fat cats at the ports enjoy their bonuses.

What?! All the businesses did was RAISE the price to cover the stupid tariff. WE paid for it! Once again, a massive grift for business and WE get f****** shafted.

Anyone for voted for him is a waste of resources on this planet. Every breath of oxygen they take is a sin against humanity

Double dipping courtesy of Donald J. Trump. You fuckheads that voted for him are history's greatest suckers.

This should just be a refund to every Americans, they paid the tariffs.

But the businesses didn't pay for them...

What if they passed their increased costs down to their retail customers?

Where's my refund for groceries getting higher because of unconstitutional tariffs?

So then the people should be able to claim all the tariffs they paid for goods in their tax returns.

We, the People, Should have gotten a $1700 federal tax credit. But nooooo, businesses get this profit.

Companies get to double dip. Meanwhile the people who actually paid the tarrifs can get fucked.

Republicans have done nothing but screw the American people since around 1900.

This country is a f****** scam

I'm so glad the businesses and CEO's can recover THEIR losses. Us plebs however...

I’m Australian, and just reading this and watching the corruption going on in your country gets me angry for you, I can’t imagine what levels of frustration you guys have to endure, I’m glad we have some stop gaps in our Westminster System so we could act faster to remove him, but that doesn’t help you.

Remember, Nutlick and his kids have already claimed a majority of these refunds

Why? It’s the consumers that paid not the businesses.

This is PPP loans all over again. The Epstein class gets breaks the system and then gives themselves money for breaking it and we pay for it every single time.

Ah yes, *the businesses* are the ones who took the hit for the tariffs, and definitely *did not* pass them along to the customers *at all*... not even *once.* ... I hate it here...

What about the people who actually paid for these tariffs though? A business can be refunded the cost of a tariff that their customers paid for by markup but the customer gets nothing?

Businesses weren't the ones affected it was consumers.  Where's our relief?

And the class action suits will be filed Monday against those companies for double dipping and us customers will get $2 and lawyers will get billions, yay.

One day we won't be able to buy anything at all.

So government collected tax from the people just to give it to the corporations as profit?

And the American people get screwed by their govt once again.

The damage to supply chains will remain.

So when are we as customers going to be able to claim our refunds..

Lmao businesses but not the consumers they passed the tariffs onto and they aren’t lowering prices back to pre-tariff level? This country is such a f****** joke

When do the American people get to start claiming refunds for the inflated prices they had to pay for goods.

Except for the ones that sold the rights to claim any refunds to Lutnik and his kids.

Where’s the 2 grand I paid directly? I’ve got receipts. How do I get what I paid?

> Importers and their brokers will be able to begin claiming refunds through an online portal beginning at 8 a.m., according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency administering the system. And it will work...flawlessly.

Good people of the internet will make lists of companies that raised prices, got refunds, and kept prices high.

And watch which companies get their refunds approved - bootlickers and knee-benders to the express lane , the rest - get f’ed

Just like the PPP loans, the big guys get a break and everyone else gets to take another bite of the shit sandwich.

Can we sue for the tariff money?

I paid UPS for import tarrif. how will they manage to refund to me. UPS said go to CBP portal but i am not a importer, just received packages from abroad

Will they then refund their customers? How do buyers get their money back?

Corpos taking our money again and keeping the prices up until they fabricate another crisis to demand increases.

What about the individuals that got price gouged… Oh we can’t that’s right another money grab for corporation’s

Can't wait for this to trickle down and lower prices across the grocery aisle. yay. . . .

So businesses get charged tariffs, offload that cost to the consumers, then the BUSINESS gets the refund? I want off this train

Businesses paid for the tariffs by charging consumers more. They didn't lose a single dime, and now they are being refunded with our taxpayer money for it.

And in a year we’re about to see so many reports of businesses who abused this and still got “refunds” just like with the PPP loans.

In so many words, 'MURICA can go f*** itself all the way to the Earth's core with this complete abomination.

America can't have communism but instead we have a corporation oligarchy. Hell yeah!

Insert padme meme: then they’ll refund the people. They’ll refund the people, right?

The consumer pays more for goods. The company claims, gee that was hard, gets a check for an extra 10% America is a scam. 

except costco, will any other business give the money back to consumers? i f****** doubt it

Uhhhhhh, what about the citizens who had to pay the extra prices. You know because the company passed the cost down to the consumer... companies didn't pay for this we did..

What about the regular people who actually had to pay the difference?

He taxed the poor and gave it directly to the rich. Reverse Robin Hood. You cant make this stuff up.

This will work so much better than the PPP loans…. I just KNOW it will… /s

These cost me half my bonus. You think I’ll see any of this money? Nope.

I'd rather see tarrifs refunds go to consumers rather than the businesses, unless the businesses can prove that they did not pass the cost on to the consumer.

Surprise surprise, announcing it while the markets closed. I wonder who gets to hold the bag this time? Robbing consumers blind.

Release the files Start the trials

Everyone knows its time to gallow up.

It should be the government’s responsibility to refund it all. They shouldn’t have been able to do something blatantly illegal and then make it the victim’s responsibility to get the money back.

What about customers that paid these businesses??

I paid direct tariffs on motorcycle parts I imported. Guess I won’t see a dime of that. These assholes are robbing us blind.

"Will consumers see refunds? Tariffs are paid by importers, and some companies pass on the tax costs to consumers via higher prices. ..." Well that's not what trump claimed. He told the people it's a levy the EXporters have to pay.

this was already known well in advance that businesses like Amazon would use this trick to enrich their company with govt funds

Up vs Down, not Left vs Right

Just in time for Trump to steal $10B from the IRS

We’ll see if any of those companies give the money back to customers as refunds, not as “lower prices” for future sales.

right, businesses get refunds.. the consumers who paid the price get trump's fart

How about people that ordered items where tariffs had to be paid?

Wait, I thought us Canadians paid the tariffs. /s

They really just hate average Americans. WE the People paid the tariffs. WE the People were already promised checks for this shit. WE the People paid the price of this unconstitutional fuckery and WE the People are the ones dealing with the consequences of this f*** shit in Iran.

Americans have been robbed.

And the people who paid the actual cost of the tariffs? Screw them right? Muh borders!!!

F*** businesses. Jesus, Chris. Crazy to think We the mfing people SITTING IN CONGRESS allow for this shit. All currently elected officials are f****** worthless.

Businesses that gauged consumers with price increases get to claim refunds. Do consumers get refunds?

In other words we are getting taxed twice for this genius move.

Businesses... how about customers?
