There'd have to be more metrics than that, but again, I don't think it's paying that worries people. Most startups with a good accountant won't pay much in taxes initially, but maybe if you set something like:

If you are not a subsidiary of another company, have got under 5 employees, under $50k in the bank and under $200k in annual revenues, you have the option just paying $1000 in taxes for up to two years.

Basically a 1040 EZ for small businesses. I bet people would jump all over it to just have it done without worrying.
