Valid point, but are there other ways to incentivize companies to reinvest profits without the incentive being tax avoidance?
I would be a proponent of 0% tax on small-ish corporations, perhaps with profits under $1 million (or maybe $5-10 million), so that small businesses who can’t afford an army of accountants to hide profits are brought up to a slightly more level playing field with bigger corps.
- ineedasername 5y agoThe problem with taxing based on profits is they can be obfuscated in too many ways. I'm not opposed to what you're saying in theory, but I think there would need to be massive changes to the tax code to make that work.
