Whatever gets the money back here and into circulation.

A corporate tax rate of zero would be the best way to do that, barring that a corporate tax rate that was highly competitive with most of the rest of the world, lower than the average.

The point about taxes on distributing the profits was important because while I want to avoid double taxation of this money, it should be taxes once (ideally at a lower rate than today's rate).

An alternative would be to make dividends tax free for the recipient, but as long as the corporation still has to pay the taxes on the money it brings back before it can use it for dividends, that likely wouldn't have as much effect as the zero corporate tax rate. If you set the rates right, both taxes could be equivalent for the owners, but the corporate decision makers probably care more about the reported profits (esp. since they might have bonuses based on them, and also because a large one time dividend isn't likely to have the same type of positive effect on the stock prices as higher profits from less (or no) corporate taxes), and stock prices help determine how profitable the executive's options are.
