Hi all
This may be a bit more UK focused, but from what I can see it applies to a good few other countries too.
In the UK, personal income tax is graded based on income, with a tax free threshold, then the basic income tax level between £~12,000 to £50,000, then a higher rate above £50,000, then another band too. This seems fair as the more you earn, the more of that ‘higher’ income gets taxed.
Why isn’t this the same for corporation tax? This is a flat rate regardless of turnover/profit, with small companies having to pay the same proportion of their profits as large multinational companies. Wouldn’t it be fairer to have bands like personal income tax?

Tax corporations on revenue not profit. Make tax rate 1% in stead of 20% would bring in roughly same tax. Much harder to cheat. Would cover the nondom corps like Amazon etc
