The problem is that corporations use the infrastructure and resources of countries they operate in. So you would still have a situation of a multinational company using the resources of country X without necessarily paying any tax for using the resources of country X. This is not sustainable.

Country can still tax usage of these resources.

For human resources: income tax on salaries, unemployment insurance, medical insurance etc.

For some materials: excise tax.

For real estate: property tax.
