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?

Open market means you want to lure external companies to your country by providing them attractive (relative to other countries) tax options. If you push too far, they will move their companies somewhere else and you will get a higher % of 0.
In case of personal tax, theres a lot more reasons for people to stay in the country and just accept the progressive tax.
