Re: Base taxation on inputs and outputs

@Davcrav

The countries in which products are manufactured deserve a slice of the tax pie every bit as much as the countries that buy the products. What we are looking for is not only the elimination of tax avoidance but a fair basis of distribution of the tax proceeds.

Your example does not address this. You are another person who condemns out of hand what they do not understand or are familiar with.

When all nations have similarly effective taxation regimes, there may be a case for a "payroll tax" adjustment to the share of tax revenue payable to some nations.

Unless the inputs are brought into the equation there is no way to fairly allocate the revenue raised amongst the nations in which that nation does business.
