Amazon gorging on public contracts – but paying 'incredibly little' in tax, union warns
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
AMAZON have been treating the British people like “mugs” after receiving nearly £660 million in government contracts and paying incredibly little in taxes, the GMB said yesterday.
A report released by the union show that since 2015 the controversial multinational corporation has been awarded 36 public-sector contracts worth the whopping figure.
The company received £11m for web-hosting services from HMRC in 2018 despite paying only £1.7m on profits of £72m declared through its subsidiary, Amazon UK Services, in 2017.
