> Where is the tax base?

In corporations?




Corporations can move out of the jurisdiction with corp tax much easier than humans. And judging by Apple etc, they are pretty good at getting tax brakes, buy legislation.


Or on robots?


More plausible since it directly connects to the problem at hand. But when you replace humans with algorithms how do you determine what to tax and how much?


Value added taxes/sales are plausible if they are selling stuff.
