Nope...sorry....using a VAT tax, to do what you’re suggesting, is just setting up businesses to continue to pay an INCREASED tax, incrementally. Government has NEVER met a tax they did NOT increase.
Once it starts......

The problem with your argument is- that is what we have today. The US has the highest corporate tax rate, yet all the well connected companies (GE) don't pay a dime in taxes. Congress will always increase taxes no matter the mechanism. The corporate tax code is a monster and consumes more time than European VAT tax.
The only way to control congress is with the constitution and elections.
