> Let's say someone buys $1B worth of junk, has expenses like salary etc of $1B, does something with it and sells products and services worth $2.2B. Do they pay taxes on $2.2B or on $0.2B? I think we can fix some kinds of tax dodging by taxing the $2.2B.

That does not quite add up .... let's say the tax rate is 20%. The tax on $0.2B is $40m, the tax on $2.2B would be $440m, which would mean the company is making a $220m loss. But not only that, say the salaries are $1B then the government would $200m in double taxation, maybe socialise the loss and take $200 million from the workers salaries.

Then not only that, lets say the $1B of junk is made in the same country as the above company, the government would make another $200m by taxing them. That is a little regressive.
