Generally, you don't.


Apple keeps track of which applications have been purchased by any given AppleID account.


You're free to re-install an app if you've deleted it.


The counter to this is if the application developer has discontinued the app or has a new (paid) upgrade option.


The screen you're seeing looks more like the account verification screen (to verify who you are, and that you're entitled to install the app) more than any actual charge.
