In 2020, Amazon announced that its key UK business paid just £14.46 million in tax in 2019 - a 3% increase from the previous year, despite pre-tax profits growing by more than 35%.
We have estimated that in 2017 Amazon’s tax avoidance from profit shifting alone cost the UK £52million.
Amazon promised in 2015 that it would begin to pay a fairer rate of tax. Yet the online giant - which has a market value of over $1 trillion - has refused to keep its promise, at a time when public finances are more vital than ever before.
