Another option could be to charge a reasonable tax rate and make it as easy as possible to pay. This would reduce incentives to find ways to avoid tax, as those alternatives have costs as well. Wealthy people are the most mobile in society. I think it's good that countries compete on things like tax rates and good governance. No person or company should be beholden to any one government.

Is the tax rate not reasonable right now? Is there any evidence that lowering the tax rate would make companies less likely to try to avoid paying taxes?

  The US tax code is about 74,000 pages long. Regardless of the tax rate, that's completely unreasonable.

  Our corporate taxes are the highest in the industrialized world, so yes, lowering them would lower the incentive to move.
