The top post here https://www.quora.com/How-do-taxes-a...a-supply-curve explains it well. If I taxed bread then suppliers lose money, so they won't supply as much (as they would rather supply something else that gives more money).

Taxes affect the price of the good. The suppliers supply the good and therefore price it. As Tax affects the price, Taxes affect the Supply Curve.

Taxation certainly does impact the demand curve and anybody who says no is an idiot. Direct taxation often affects consumption and investment, this is income tax and corporation tax amongst others. This is because it effects how much profit business have left to invest, and the disposable incomes of individuals. Indirect taxes such as VAT, excise duties and many others impact the short-run aggregate supply curve not direct taxes. Direct taxes affect however, the Long-run aggregate supply curve, but, its effectiveness or the actual outcome is argued, this is referred to as supply-side fiscal policy.
Do you even do economics bro? you sound extremely stupid
