Why did the British believe it was necessary to raise taxes on the colonists?

The British government believed that actions of Great Britain to protect the colonists, such as helping pay for the French& Indian War were fair and taxes to do this corectly helped reimburse the British Crown's expenditures. Despite the defeat of France in that particular war, France as a major world power was not going to "disappear". Thus building up the British treasury coffers was a good, solid move and raising taxes did this. Now it seems that just by using the Mercantile economic system, the colonies would already be sending enough funds back to the home country. With that said, money can equate to power and dependence. So it would be for the self interest of Great Britain and her colonies, to have a wealthy central government, done so by raising taxes was a good policy.
