Okay, yes, I'm with you. That is true. The paper does not speak of sales-based *corporate* tax. That was my addition/suggestion: I said I think it might help us understand salience of sales-based corporate tax ideas. That's arguable, of course
Yes I see what you mean. I just wonder whether ppls answer to "should X iconic foreign brand pay tax here" would be different to ppls answer standing outside a local company w international sales "should Y company pay tax elsewhere and not here? I wonder if would be consistent

Probably not consistent, no. I thought this particular instance was relevant exactly because I didn't recall the shoppers had been 'fed' the point by being asked "should Nike pay tax here?". My impression was they had offered some sales-based ideas on their own.

... In fact ask them "if Y company makes consistent losses here and profits elsewhere should it get tax rebates from our gov? "... Which has got to be the achilles heel for DBCFT's intuitive appeal! (but a point for sales factor FA)
