Maybe this is obvious to people that do accounting for multinationals, but it's not clear to me how you even establish that 10% of the revenue was in France.

If a global company like Google pays a global company like Apple $K billion to be the default search engine on iphones, should Apple consider that revenue to be all in the US because Google is headquartered in the US even though it's purchasing something that will apply to people in lots of countries? Does it matter if Google uses local corporations in a number of companies to each pay Apple? If Google pays through its subsidiary in the jurisdiction with the highest corporate taxes, can it force Apple to realize revenue there?

a "simple" solution would be requiring companies to set up legal entities/subsidiaries into the countries they make above xx millions of revenue, getting taxed at the local level, keeping simultaneously things simple for small companies which may sell across borders.
