You anticipated my next question; why not just charge them less tax?

That would create the impression that it's their money in the first place, rather than a privilege for which to be humbly grateful.
It's a bit like instead of Ebeneezer Scrooge paying Bob Cratchit enough money to buy a turkey the first place, he holds the money back and then gives them a turkey at the last minute and everybody loves him.
