>I think the point being made is that prices have to be adjusted to allow revenue to cover taxes along with other costs. Profits always cover corporation tax because corporation tax is a fraction of profit (of course it's more complicated than that in reality). But the essential point is if corporation tax is lower then there is more money to distribute to shareholders, if the tax is higher then there is less.
