Unfortunately you cannot reduce taxes and refusing a tax increase doesn't help as it goes up again the next turn or soon after anyway. The only thing you can do is try and maximise the time between tax rate increases.

As I understand it the frequency of the tax rate increases depend on the volume of goods you trade (not the $ value) so if you buy a loy of low price items such as tools your tax rate will increase faster than if you make them yourself.

that is correct. I discovered that if you don't trade with Europe the tax rate is not increasing. I playied many turns untill the tax rate to grow and it finelly happend it was only becouse of my trade with Europe. Befor this momment I trade only with the natives and the King bothered me only to beg for money saying nothing about tax rate.
