They aren’t paying enough to begin with as an overall percentage of the state’s tax, so what’s the difference if they leave?
I think the underlying threat is that they'll bring their industry with them.
Then... Outlaw that? Like, the government can simply say "no, and if you so much as make a move, your entire company gets nationalized"
It's simpler than that. There's other rich people who'd gladly buy a ready to roll production facility, there'd be no real loss. But in reality they won't leave, there's still money to be made.
But why sell it to other rich people at all? Just keep the business collectively
That's just how it would currently work.
Outlaw a company shutting down operations in a country?
Literally yes, outlaw a company moving to another country
How? The company isn't operating within the jurisdiction of the original country anymore.
Cool, that's the directives, the workers haven't left. Nationalize all their possessions, bank accounts, and enjail everyone involved in the process.
