Amazon UK Receives £7.6 Million Tax Credit Amid Rising Profits of £355 Million

9 Haziran 2026The Guardian
  • Amazon's UK division received a £7.6 million tax credit from HM Revenue and Customs, even as its profits rose by over 25% to £355 million. The company reported revenues of £32 billion across its five largest UK divisions.
  • Despite the tax credit, Amazon UK Services indicated it owed £9.1 million in current taxes for the year.
  • Amazon has been a significant player in the UK market, employing a large workforce and generating substantial revenues. However, the juxtaposition of high profits and tax credits highlights ongoing debates about corporate taxation and fairness in the business landscape.
  • This situation raises questions about the effectiveness of tax policies aimed at large corporations. While Amazon's profits are substantial, the receipt of a tax credit could be seen as a loophole that allows the company to minimize its tax burden.
