      They weren’t fed that policy opinion by anyone. They volunteered it. Without any specific expertise in tax policy. They just had an intuition that taxes should be paid where sales are (as the paper tells us).

      To wrap this up: I was honestly taken aback by the consistency. Couldn’t understand how these people could all support such a specific tax policy principle. I’ve even wondered out loud about this: https://twitter.com/phdskat/status/928017245376274432?s=21 … The paper at the top of this thread helps us make sense.

      I’m not quite sure how this idea has spread so wide. Pretty interesting. I mean, there are decent arguments for it but also some against

      But is it the right question? I mean asking a shopper in Nike store 'should Nike pay tax here' .... is basically should shops pay tax....so answer is 'of course shops should pay tax, all shops pay tax so why shouldn't Nike'?

      Is what the right question? I never said what the journalist had asked... I can’t recall precisely the exchanges. Would have to go find the tape. But my recollection is exactly that they were not ‘fed’ the sales tax idea - which is why I was surprised at the consistency.

      Broader point of course is that someone else (the paper linked at the top) in fact did do a specific study on people’s attitudes to sales-based taxes

      Right, but "everyone pays sales tax" attitude in the paper seems to be something different. "Everyone" I think means all consumers. Interesting though in light of US way of adding sales tax visibly (and annoyingly) at the till (which I thought was designed for unpopularity..?)

      Something different from what? Everyone is a consumer, no? I don't really follow your point..

      Different from question of DBCFT (perhaps not so much for economists thinking about incidence). Q in the paper seems to be about attitudes to sales tax vs federal income tax on individuals, rather than location of CIT in intl value chains

      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

      ... 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)

          I see your point. It's a slightly different, more complex/nuanced one perhaps? On the more ideal world, where we're constructing 'true' citizen views, based on full information. But in messy tax policy context, those fuzzy 'intuitions' are also consequential
