What’s the rationale for double taxing corporate profits vs other types?


No rationale for that, but likewise no rational reason that corporates sholud be able to use multinational structures to completely avoid tax, which is what these planning structures are all about. Typically there are inter-company transfer pricing arrangements that mean that the companies in the taxed jurisdictions pay fees to each other so their profits are minimised and as much profit as possible is expatriated to low- or no-tax jurisdictions.
