Ask HN: Do startups care about corporate tax rate?

[michaelteter]

There are startups in many countries, and those countries have measurably different corporate tax rates.

Is the corporate tax rate of the home country a concern? Are there other significant financial rules or regulations which affect the consideration of where to found a startup?

[stop50]

Corporate tax here is applied on the profit, so until you make enough profit to pay corporate tax, you pay nothing.

[michaelteter → stop50]

And if the goal is to get bought by a bigger company, or to IPO, is the tax on profit also irrelevant?

[stop50 → michaelteter]

That are other taxes.
