I think it would be fair to say that UBI causes inflation and to also say that taxation lowers inflation.

Any government spending (whether for UBI or missile systems) not paid for with taxes increases inflation, but there are lots of countervailing forces that mitigate it, not just taxation, the largest factor perhaps being downward wage pressure on workers.
