Businesses don't pay taxes. The purchasers of those business' products/services pay the taxes. A business has to make a certain level of profit in order to keep the doors open and to turn a profit for investors. If increased taxes cut into the needed profit then the business will increase the cost of their product/service and pass on that extra cost onto the consumer. We the consumer will pay for the increased taxes. So simple that a simple minded caveman can understand it, hopefully.
