Post by BurfordTJusticeAwwww the po babies. You can not fault anyone
for using the tax laws as written to their own advantage.
Anyone who does not is a fucking fool.
Well yeah on a level playing field I would agree. The bottom line is
there isn't a level playing field and our politicians should have fixed
this issue ages ago. Amazon use our infrastructure and they should pay
for it like our domestic businesses do.
Have you any evidence to support your startling thesis that Amazon's
vehicles haven't got Road Tax licences?
Did I say that. No.
Er, yes. You did.
You said: "Amazon use our infrastructure and they should pay for it".
But they already do, just as much as any other business does. There is
no way in which they or any other UK-based retailer / delivery service
could avoid doing so.
Do they pay for the Police, the courts, central government, planning,
subsidies for public transport to get their people to work, the army,
the navy, the airforce, the hospitals, social care and so on, and so on,
and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so
on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on,
and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so
on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on,
and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on.
No. So fuck em.
Post by JNugentPost by p-0''0-h the cat (coder)Do you really think that is all there is too it. The
roads. Larf, and btw road tax doesn't pay for the roads and hasn't done
so since 1937 although the wind of change is coming.
Road Tax is a minor part of the taxation collected from road users. They
collar me for £20 a year in Road Tax. It costs well more than twice that
in taxation to fill up the tank just once.
And the annual insurance premium tax is more than the £20 Road Tax (it
amounts to 12/112 of about £250 a year, which is around £27).
These are the figures for a relatively lightly taxed car and a driver
whose insurance is seen as a light risk for the insurer. For a lorry -
or even a delivery van - the figures are a lot higher.
And of course, where Amazon use the postal service they have to pay for
that too.

therefore have not had insurance premium tax paid on the policy
purchases? Or even that they don't use taxed and dutiable fuel?
And where they use a toilled river crossing, are you sure they don't pay
the toll?
Post by p-0''0-h the cat (coder)Perhaps they should even pay
more for the privilege of operating on our hallowed turf. We are after
all doing them the favour.
Not so. Amazon is a wonderful retailer. The customer is always right.
You don't get it do you.
If that was a question, the answer is that I don't "get" you assertion
that a company which plainly contributes a lot into infrastructure
taxation pays no infrastructure taxation.
Yet to have to have meant exactly that because oterwise, your remark
"Amazon use our infrastructure and they should pay for it" would make
absolutely no sense.
But there is another explanation for that, I suppose.
Post by p-0''0-h the cat (coder)These multinationals are given this massive
advantage
What advantage?
Post by p-0''0-h the cat (coder)and so can easily out compete local businesses. It's easy to
shine in the circumstances. This is why I am soooooo against any trade
deal with the US. Don't give the Yanks an edge, they will cheat and we
will lose.
We currently have a c. 2.5% import duty deal with the USA. At the price
level of a book (which in any event carries no import duty or VAT), CD
or DVD, that percentage is neither here nor there.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4209893/amazon-tax-britain-uk-boycott/
Accounts filed by Amazon UK Services reveal it paid £7.4 million of
corporation tax in 2016 - less than HALF the amount paid in 2015.
So what?
