False.
The taxes only paid by businesses in the UK (rather more left wing than USA) Corportation tax (£29,000,000,000) and business rates (£15,600,000,000) contribute £44,600,000,000 to the government.
On the other hand, individuals contribute £90,800,000,000 in Income Tax, £55,700,000,000 in social security contributions and £54,000,000,000 in VAT. This totals £191,500,000,000. Real people contribute more than imaginary persons (yes that's the legal classification of a business.)
