Those who actually outsource or offshore don't. And if you do as I have been doing (and linking a few) and look at the reasons actually for outsourcing or offshoring, taxes are rarely list. If so, usually low down the list. It's the cost of the employee (salary and benefits) that tops the list.
Those businesses who directly service the consumer are generally stuck in the location they are servicing. However, most larger corps have the luxury of locating their business unit where it is most profitable for them to do so. Part of their overhead is the business tax rate where they locate.
Look at Microsoft, why do you suppose they relocated from California to Washington. Wasn't for salaries. It was for the business taxes.
