If corporations can just increase prices with whatever percent they need to offset some tax, why don't they just increase prices with 5% or 500% already, and pocket the profit, despite there being no tax that requires the increase? Seems like an obvious thing to do, and the incentive is totally there (free profit).

Competition. They wouldn’t be able to do it individually, but they could collude so they all do it. Of course that would be illegal.
