A tax on suppliers will cause the equilibrium price paid by the consumer to increase and the equilibrium quantity to decrease. The tax would basically make the supplier decide to increase the price of their product. In effect, the consumer would have to pay a higher price because of this incident. Since the price to be paid by the consumer would increase, the equilibrium quantity would eventually increase because the amount to be paid by the consumer is already fixed. When the price per unit would increase, the number of units that can be bought with the specified amount of money will eventually decrease.
