Glad you finally figured it out.
And, in conclusion, there is no basis for supporting an argument that the customer pays the tax in all cases, which was the fundamental disagreement. He might pay the tax if the company raises prices by an equivalent amount..........and he might not pay the tax if the company increases efficiency and maintains prices.
