Answer #1

When tax is paid on good with inelastic demand curve and elastic supply curve. It shifts the supply curve to its left from Supply to Supply + Tax. Output produced remains the same while the price rises and the whole imposition of tax falls on consumers as clearly seen from the diagram.

The more the inelastic side of the market, the more is the imposition of tax on that party.
