I’ve always heard that abolishing corporate personhood would make them untaxable. I don’t know for sure, but I imagine you’d have to be very careful with that one. That said, I understand the general goal, and I’m for it.
Treating juridical persons as having legal rights allows corporations to sue and to be sued, provides a single entity for easier taxation and regulation, simplifies complex transactions that would otherwise involve, in the case of large corporations, thousands of people, and protects the individual rights of the shareholders as well as the right of association.

Edit: That was a lazy comment. Wikipedia:
Whoever you heard that from knows even less about tax law than I do.
“I’ve always heard…” followed by “I don’t know for sure…” are the hallmarks of a comment that should have never been written in the first place.
