I think the idea is that if it's streamlined simple and low
then it may bring in less money but it'll save on administration costs fraud and waste which will make up and keep the amount of tax revenue basically static.

Or, you know, they could just make Vodafone and the like pay what they really owe.

Well they don't legally owe anything because they've abused the loopholes in such a way they don't have to pay what they owe.
They've obeyed the letters of the law so any tax claim will be overturned in court.

They have a case to answer and for some unknown reason, no one is even trying to test it.

This is the difference between avoidance and evasion
if people can leaglly avoid, go for it, if I had the resources I would.
