The company that makes James Bond films gets millions in subsidies from the UK and pays no tax in the UK, since the profit from the films is all assigned to other companies in other countries.

If the UK wants to pay, in normal times, for people to do work, why not pay them to do work that the public needs, such as medical care for the NHS and home assistance for people who are sick or handicapped?

Under my global progressive tax scheme, those companies would be treated as one entity for computing its tax rate, and the UK part would pay that rate on its gross income.
