I thought we were talking under the assumption that the corporate tax rate was the same as the personal tax rate (ie a flat tax).

Keeping it in the company would then be irrelevant (the more you keep in the company by not paying yourself a salary, the higher the corporate taxes).

Not if you have foreign holdings and don't repatriate all of the profits.

I also don't think you could easily manage raising the effective corporate tax rate very much without seeing further offshoring of profits, which is the present situation. We presently live in a world where capital movement has been liberalized and the movement of people(Schengen notwithstanding) has not. So even if you have some sort of profit/income agnostic flat tax, any business that can seek lower tax rates abroad will.
