There have been many untruths in this campaign. After all, it is being run by politicians so when their mouth is moving you know they're lying.

Before you head out to vote tomorrow, why not do one last check of the facts. It'll be your last chance:

How do tariffs work with regards to payment?

So for example if the UK imports a car from america for $50k who gets the $5k in tariff fees? (assuming its 10% for cars imported into the EU)

The UK government? The EU?

And then what happens if that car is re-exported to say France?

I believe:


Tariffs are charged at point of entry and go into EU coffers

No charge when goods are moved within the EU (that's the point)

i have a feeling tariffs are cashed in by national governments

Import the parts and assembly the car inside the EU. Likewise don't import the cheap parts at all.

I don't see how we have a problem with individuals paying more tax than others, and getting less back in benefits - but we have a problem with nations doing this.

It's how we try to create a fairer society for all.
