Why not just pass a law? Seems easier and cleaner and it would capture quite a bit of the revenue that currently goes uncollected.

As to corporations incorporated in the US, the US government could override tax havens quite easily. THey would just, you know, do it.
For example numerous corporations will "sell" a product to a subsidiary that is located in, e.g., Cayman, at a big loss and then re-sell it to the buyer of the goods in the US at a profit. The profit is derived in Cayman thus Cayman taxes on profits (or lack thereof) apply.
This is a pretty easy fix. You just don't give effect to the sham transaction. Voila.
