Refund Chaos Ahead

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected Trump’s tariffs, and now companies are waiting to see how they’ll get their money back. We’re talking about an estimated $175 billion here. The court didn’t bother to tell the government how to refund these illegal tariffs, so it’s anyone’s guess what happens next.

The Refund Question

It’s not like the government has a history of efficiently returning money to people it’s taken by mistake. Don’t hold your breath. The court’s decision is a clear win for companies that’ve been paying these tariffs, but it’s not like they’re getting their money back tomorrow. Or next week. Or possibly ever.
