The internal operations of a company shoud be irrelevant to nations.

If a company is taking £billion out of a nation's spending power, and doing so with nefarious practices, that's what should be fined.

If bankruptcy is a worry, then comapnies shouldn't fly so close to the sun when adopting immoral practices.

Income is the only reliable thing you can tax. Trying to calculate profit for international companies is an absolute joke which is massively inefficient. Why an Earth should governments employ entire teams to second guess internal bookkeeping?

If you want to take a billion from a nation's citizens, better be sure you're providing a legal service. I mean, are drug dealers punished on profit?

Nothing of what you're saying makes any sense.

> Income is the only reliable thing you can tax.

Then why does every country on earth tax corporate profit, not income?

> Why an Earth should governments employ entire teams to second guess internal bookkeeping?

Because that's how you make sure companies pay their taxes? Because it's a net gain to employ those teams because they find much more tax cheating than it costs to employ them?

> If a company is taking £billion out of a nation's spending power

Companies don't. They take cash and in return provide services that are even more valuable. The entire idea of free trade is that it's positive-sum for all.
