Usually, when analyzing the effect of export taxes it is implicitly assumed that there is a fixed exchange rate. This note discusses the case in which the exchange rate is flexible. It shows that in such a case the export tax is to a greater or lesser extent passed on to the exchange rate. Only in the extreme cases when demand is infinitely elastic or supply is perfectly inelastic the tax burden will fall entirely on the suppliers.
