For the last time (I hope):

_Who_actually_ends_up_with_less_money_in_his_pocket_as_a_result_of_the_tax_?

_That's_ who is paying it. If A ends up with no less money in his
pocket after the tax is implemented, but B does, then B is paying the
tax, and A isn't.

I don't know any simpler way to say this.
