Hmmmmm, we don't really aim at having them pay corporate taxes. They invest their capital, which increases the labour's value here. The higher wages cause for more labour taxes or consumption taxes. Hence our tax revenue increases.

If they do transfer pricing, they would have to be insane to send it to USA. They'd rather send it to tax havens.

The EU does their effort to counter transfer pricing.

Even if it fails, their capital investment causes our country to gain profit.

I don't think burger King creates new jobs or invest a lot of capital in the country.

For example this place: they have to rent this area in the center of the capital. That's not cheap for them. There's plenty of employees inside the restaurant.
