So if McDonalds wants to be in france they should pay more taxes same for Burger King H&M C&A Walmart Starbucks or whatever company there is. So companies would have to pay for because I highly doubt they want to lose 60million potential customers. |
Regardless of whether you tax the company directly or not, the consumers of their goods or services are the ones who pay the taxes. If you want to introduce a tax based on commercial operations within a country it makes far more sense to handle this as a Goods and Services Tax (GST) or Value Added Tax (VAT), which is a fancy way of saying sales tax on all goods and services sold in a country.
