Income taxes aren’t paid by apple. Those are paid by the employees.

So change them so that they're paid by the employer instead, if you think that would make a big difference.

This glib response is quite naive and ignores second order implications.

How would we tax a corporation as the number of employees trends to 0?

If they hold property in your jurisdiction then you have property tax. If they sell to your people then you have VAT.

And if they have no activities in your country at all, what gives you a right to tax them?
