Note that all the nations listed as low tax are also low population. They have a tiny market. Note, the countries whining are all large and large population. Large market countries. The outcome will be bullying small countries into ruin. The big boys want to tax companies more so they will make tax relevant to market size. How do you do this? By taxing sales. So they should do that. That would make sense. It's the only way to make 100% sure that countries get the tax revenue they desire. So why don't they do that? God knows. They are too scared that small countries are being made more powerful by hosting large corps.  So the big boys want to charge sales tax, vat and then charge corps again on their remaining profits. While small countries don't have the revenue on sales. This isn't a small countries fault. 

 

Note also, that the large population countries have large corporations set in their countries. A fair share of them actually. Nobody is whining about them though. They just want a larger proportion of the small country based corporations, profit. Ok so tax them on sales!! Duh!!
