No, CN gold accumulates into treasure fleets and is periodically sent to you.

The only way to make it part of tariffs is to change your trade capital to a node that isn't downstream from your CN. The treasure fleets follow the trade network, and if they can't reach you the CN gets to keep its gold as income, which is then counted for tariffs. It can be useful to do this, but less so as Spain unless you control 100% of Genoa already.

You're probably going to want Economic ideas regardless, because treasure fleets increase your inflation. And the policy with Exploration is good for colonisers with colonial nations.

Mexico does have a lot of gold provinces, but the region also contains a lot of high price trade goods. There's no reason to tarriff Mexico less than other colonial nations.
