If you claimed a taxi used to go to a business meeting as a legitimate deductible expense, should I consider it unacceptable? Good sensible business practice. And close one loophole, another will be found. Why? Because that's what certain good executives are employed to do. It's their job. We should employ equally clever and efficient people to collect taxes for us, not blame others for "moral" reasons when they make as much profits as they can. And why on earth shouldn't they? I find it incomprehensible to criticise a company or person for being efficient - as long as it's legal - and just can't understand why it should be considered "unacceptable". Far more unacceptable for the companies to make losses and go bust. |

Amazon route c£5 billion of their UK sales through Luxembourg - and pay negligible tax. How anyone can believe that this legal tax avoidance is acceptable - I do not know.

I would probably avoid more tax if I could afford an accountant clever enough to find all the loopholes. However if I started filing accounts with negligible tax payments, I am more likely to get investigated by HMRC who can afford to send an inspector to my office for a few days rather than send a large team of inspectors to Vodafone for a year. |

Amazon to create 1,000 new full-time jobs in its eight UK distribution centres
to add to the 6000 they already employ in UK !

Since the company was created, shareholders have backed Jeff Bezos and his annual proclamations that Amazon was not about short-term profits. He has long expressed his disdain for short-term profitability, emphasising the need to plough funds into growing and evolving. Profits will come later.

They have how ever put 1000s of people in small bookshops out of work and on the dole subsidised by other taxpayers.
hedda has obviously never seen the Amazon distribution centres - the size of several football fields !
... and if you are worried about small bookshops, hedda - you can always buy something from them ! It's a free country !
BUT ... like the other social loonies they all want something for nothing - they want the lowest prices, but then expect huge amounts of tax ! (Just like the dolers want more and more - and give less and less, then wonder why there is no money for the NHS !)
Do you want Amazon to go the way of the British coalmines / Triumph motorbikes / Leyland cars (the dustbin of history) .... ? |
