It's not?
Mathematically it must be. Consider the number line as aggregate incentives; negative values are disincentives and positives are incentives. Any subtraction of a negative necessarily moves our aggregate value more positive.
Using a real world example: reducing tax write-offs for healthcare consumption is a disincentive to consume healthcare and an incentive to consume other products (or to invest or save).
