These are only "competitive advantages" because some people high up decided they were legal (and probably gained some personal profit out of it). When starbucks, macdonalds or airbnb pay insanely low taxes in most european countries they're using legal ways to do so, but it doesn't benefits the people, it benefits the corporations.

I personally don't care about the exact percentage of tax we should apply, but we should start by making them pay taxes in the countries the money is made and stop allowing companies to bend the rules so much.

This is like dumping, it's a "competitive advantage" until you decide it's illegal or at least regulated, these things aren't written in stone
