No. a tax is not essentially a tariff. Their essences are disparate.
A tariff is a fee on imported goods. Goods produced here would not be subject to this, so there would be more production jobs here, in accordance with the rules of markets. This is basic stuff, jizzbox.
It's essentially the same thing. The government imposes a cost on business, and as a result that curtails the business.
