Well the issue is not the competition on tax, it's tax avoidance/evasion. You can't compete on tax with fiscal paradises that provide no infrastructure to operate a business.
Most of the corporations within EU simply create shell companies in Luxembourg and artificially siphon off their profits so that they can pay 1% tax there instead of aprox 20% within EU. Luxembourg doesn't contribute with anything(i.e. infrastructure) to their profit thus I believe this is not "fair".
If this[1] is not tax evasion I don't know what tax evasion is
