No, it was because they lied about their income. I think that would be enough to frighten anyone into filling out their tax forms correctly. They claimed to have given all, and Peter did not rebuke them for keeping part, but for lying about their gift. They wanted to look like they were committed, without actually having to be so. I feel a few messages in there somewhere.
