Sure but notice how Samsung and BMW get to use the same roads and police departments as Apple and GM, while their headquarters (with respective taxable wallet) resides some place else.
Only domestic companies' corporate earnings get hit to pay for this.
Indeed they don't need roads, rails, fire departments, police departments, etc. Corporations don't exist in a vacuum.
Let's have a deal: we abolish the taxes if they don't use any these.
You might say: but citizens already pay for this! True. However, if you abolish taxes for companies then citizens will have to pay more for public services. You might say: but we will increase their wages. I say ok then, let's make it part of the deal: a decent minimal wage.
