I think this idea, but I always thought that a country or countries should just be on the cap table.

Forget tax, but if I want access to the Canadian grant ecosystem they take 7%.

I want Delaware Chancery courts the U.S takes 8%

Swedish bank secrecy, 6%

And we access states more like VCs and their value add.

Obviously all numbers are made up



How is that functionally different than how tax works now?

Ownership gives you two things. It's a right to future profits, and the ability to resell that right to someone else. Company tax gives the government a percentage of the profit, and capital gains tax gives them a percentage when the shares are sold.

The only thing your proposal would do is delay when the government gets it's slice because the company doesn't have to pay a dividend right away.
