Remember there are a lot of techniques corporations can take advantage of to lower their tax burden. Have a terrible year? Spread your losses off over the next 5. Want to invest in Green Energy? Lobby Congress to give Federal tax incentives to offset your capital investments. Use domestic losses to lower your tax burden without factoring offshore profits.
I think the number of corporations who have really structured their business around tax avoidance is pretty small. For many, their low effective rates can be explained when you look at them over time.
