I know they're different things - my point is that the principle of exempting Amazon, or admonishing them for shifting their cut to the Netherlands (or elsewhere), on the basis of others in the supply chain paying tax is ludicrous.
I'm not claiming they're doing anything illegal - but the system is fundamentally flawed. We voted to leave the EU - I don't think it's reasonable for companies trading in the UK to shift their profits into the EU and pay tax there because it suits them. I want a tax system that suits
us.
It's me and all the other idiots on PAYE that have to stump up more as a result to fund our public services.
