I think you are offering up a false alternative.

It really is a choice between three outcomes. (1) No factory is built, no taxes collected. (2) Factory is built, company pays full sticker price on the taxes. (1) is unappealing because nothing is created. So we arrive at (3), where the company understandably wants to renegotiate the sticker price on the taxes and the taxing body doesn't want to end up in scenario (1), so they come to an agreement somewhere in the middle.

Why is this translated into the company received cash from the taxing entity?
