The effect you describe is included under Examples of bonus total calculation.

It seems that the precentages at the very moment of completing a bar are very high. However what happens is that the bonus percentage changes and is applied over the total tax collected so far.

For example

Start collection (not counted)

Collect 1 : 100 (cumulative 100) percentage 0%, bonus 0

Collect 2 : 100 (cumulative 100) percentage 0%, bonus 0

Collect 3 : 100 (cumulative 300), percentage 2%, bonus 6

Collect 4: 100 (cumulative 400), percentage 2%, bonus 8

Collect 5: 100 (cumulative 500), percentage 2%, bonus 10

Collect 6: 100 (cumulative 600), percentage 2%, bonus 12

Collect 7: 100 (cumulative 700), percentage 2%, bonus 14

Collect 8: 100 (cumulative 800), percentage 2%, bonus 16

Collect 9: 100 (cumulative 900), percentage 4%, bonus 36

The interaction of the increase in cumulative total plus the higher percentage makes the chain at the completion of the bar look to provide an extra bonus.
