Yes. If you read what I wrote that is actually what I said.
The larger point is that the government receives tax from Amazon's employees so that, even in the absence of corporation tax, there is a benefit to the country of Amazon operating there. Not to mention that providing jobs is in itself a good thing.
Again, to be clear, I'm not saying it's right or fair that they pay little corporation tax.
