Traditionally, tariffs are a pretty small part of a government's revenue, they're normally used more as a political and geopolitical tool to influence entities affected by the tariffs, such as the countries you trade with and the industries in your country. If they're a significant part of your budget, in most countries that would mean you're hurting your economy by limiting international trade artificially. Trade does not make money for the government directly, unless the government owns nationalized industries and sells goods to other countries (For example, our Québécois hydroelectricity). That will usually be supplementary income at best.
International trade makes money for the government indirectly, because trade makes money for its citizens, and the citizens pay taxes. Taxes are the main way governments make money, and that's why they're evil.
If the two countries share a fleet, it would be expected that they both contribute to its funding using their income. IRL, it's rare that two different countries would fully share a military branch though, because the chain of command would fray into two paths at the top, which is usually not ideal for centralized militaries. It's a more common setup for two countries to simply each have their fleet and collaborate closely. Oh, I guess the two chains of command could link up at the Emperor's level though.
But yeah, money's mostly coming from taxes, and unless there is a specific arrangement, I think each country would be paying for its own equipment and personnel. If one country has all the equipment and personnel and doesn't like paying that much, it might ask something else from the other country to make it more even.
