Amazon accused of handing over 'diddly-squat' in corporation tax

Firm attacked even though it says its contribution has nearly tripled since 2017

Amazon has been accused of continuing to underpay corporation tax in the UK despite nearly tripling the payment from a key British division to 14m.

Amazon UK Services, the company's warehouse and logistics operation that employs more than two-thirds of its 27,500-plus UK workforce, said its corporation tax contribution had risen by nearly 10m in the year to December 2018 from the 4.7m paid in 2017.
