Rebate

A refund or discount on tax that you get back from the government. Rebates are relatively rare in Aotearoa but are used more frequently in other countries.
Working for Families can be thought of as a tax rebate because it is described as a “tax credit” rather than a welfare payment. Tax rebates are available if you donate to a charity.
Because high income people pay more tax, rebates can be of greater advantage to them.
Example
If the government offers a GST rebate for low-income households, that’s a way of reducing financial stress and improving living standards.
Visual idea: A simple graphic of a receipt with a little arrow looping back: “Money back.”
