What's the difference between a tax and a tariff

A tax is a charge imposed on a taxpayer by a government. Tariffs are a direct tax applied to goods imported from a different country.

Duties are indirect taxes that are imposed on the consumer of imported goods. Tariffs and duties help protect domestic industries by making imports more expensive.

around the time that the U.S. was discovered and colonized by britain, they were against us trading with other countries and so they banned free trade with other countries, and also placed tarrifs on their own goods.

Taxes on the other hand are a government related thing placed to pay for stuff like oil gas national defense and so on so forthon:
