I am with you, we should tax on things that are undodgeable and stop this wasted energy on corporate taxes.

* Property tax is 1 obvious place, you want the land in this country? You pay the tax for it.

* VAT is another obvious one. You want to sell in this country? You pay the tax.

There are plenty of things that can be taxed which are undodgeable, we just have to be creative.

How is VAT the obvious one? The practice is far from theory. VAT is effectively a tax on consumers not on corporations.
