Digital services are taxed where the services are rendered. In other words, the location of the user.

Likewise corporate tax should be in the jurisdiction where services are rendered. You sell something digitally in a market then you are locating yourself in that market and that’s where you should pay tax on profit for goods sold there.

It's not that trivial to track down.

Say a US company's French subsidiary sold something for $10 in France. If the software is developed in the US, then the US company will say it cost them $9 to develop in the US, so then they only have pay profits on $1 in France. Then in the US, they will say they paid $3 in costs and sold the software to their French counterpart for $9, booking $6 of profits in the US at a lower rate.
