Re:European Union plans to tax tech giants on local revenue by bluecalm on Monday March 05, 2018 @06:22PM (#16525499)
Yes, but that's the case with any other tax. If labor costs are lower somewhere else maybe it's just more efficient to manufacture it there. If you tax on profit or revenue doesn't matter here.

If you want to prevent manufacturing in countries with less environmental regulation and cheap labor then you need tariffs. Trump is a fan of it but it's not exactly a popular idea among the tech crowd.
