Not easily. This is a problem everywhere.

Capital is just more mobile than labour income. To take a big example, someone can just pick up and move somewhere for 180 days of the year. For more realistic examples, they just put their assets in a foreign corporation. The loopholes are sometimes intentional. But more often, they are just there because money is global and tax law is local.
