A tax does both, though. It helps to curb inflation and reduces demand for a finite resource.

It's easy to make the choice to buy something when you pay once and it's yours forever. If you don't end up using it not a big deal, it's not costing you any extra to keep it.

It's harder to make that choice if you have to keep paying for it each month. Will you use it enough to make it worth paying the recurring fee? If not, you're better off not buying it and saving the gil to buy other things you will be using.

When the idea of a tax has come up in past discussion, some players objected because they said they wouldn't have bought their house in the first place if there had been a tax they would need to keep paying. That shows a tax would have a positive effect on reducing demand for a limited resource.
