Dear writer,
without any sarcastic intent, Amazon is a business, and business has that "for profit" mention to is mission.
I operate my business in the U.K. I could have chosen any of the other 140-160 countries, but I didn't. It is convenient AND profitable to do so in the U.K. taking advantage of the goodies this state offers (for my case).
I am a nobody, and therefore I have no bargaining power to get more out of this setup. I follow the rules and drink my tea at 5pm.
BUT (big but here) if I could, then I would most definitely bargain with HMRC (UK's IRS) to pay 1% instead of 15%-30%, and have a couple of steers named after me. :)
- IshKebab 9y agoYes we know. So what? The point is not that Amazon shouldn't try and do this out of the goodness of their hearts, it's that they shouldn't be allowed to do it by federal law.
