I can't see corporation tax lasting in the long term, the obvious solution to these problems is to tax capital gains and dividends as if they were income.

This could work if unrealised capital gains are taxed too. This is however too difficult, and susceptible to other kinds of fraud, if applied to non-quoted companies.

True although we are talking about a quoted company in this instance.
