Nice tax rate, if you can get it...

"received £1.7m in corporation tax from AWS on profits of £72.4m for calendar 2017"

so, effective tax rate of 2.35% ??

The only way that is legal is if Amazon* are effectively writing or co-writing the tax rules themselves.

Oh wait, thanks to their lobbyists and the cluelessness of parliament, they are are!

*and their colleagues at <generic bigcorp>
