You might go so far as to say that all of it is, but that's not the question. The question is, if e.g. concrete costs more due to the tax but we still need it, how much of the tax is passed on to consumers vs. coming out of corporate cash piles? If the answer is "anything less than 100% in all cases" then the difference is a net transfer from corporations to humans.
