What about only taxing B2C revenue? Then the degree of vertical integration wouldn't matter.

  It’s much easier to do that with something called a sales tax!

    Isn't that more a value added tax, rather than a straight sales tax? Similar, but not identical.

      VATs operate at every stage of the supply chain. A sales tax is only applied at the point of consumption.

        That's kind of my point though - it ends up being charged on the 'value add' at each stage, so the vertical integration doesn't matter. X % of the final cost should still be VAT.
