"Markets in Action," Michael Parkin
2008 Modular Level I, Vol. 2, pp. 75-76
Study Session 4-15-d

In markets with perfectly elastic supply, price increases as a result of tax and the seller passes on the tax burden to buyers. In markets with perfectly inelastic supply, sellers maintain the same supply and price but absorb the tax burden themselves.
