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.
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).
