Yup. Corporate/business taxes to begin with are not so smart because because businesses can basically incorporate in any jurisdiction for reduced or 0% tax rates. Many countries have "free trade zones" with 0% business taxes. Those countries still benefit though because their citizens get jobs they might not otherwise have access to. With free trade agreements, it is easier than ever to have your headquarters in a tax haven and then manufacture and sell your products worldwide.
