... and who are the paying customers?

"As would any revenue based tax levied on the companies supplying those customers."

If they are paying customers. But who are the paying customers for Google?

Those people who use the search engine or gmail aren't paying anything taxable.

On the other hand every normal bookshop has to pay taxes which Amazon avoids just by being big, making competing with it very hard.
