Amazon's employee share scheme helps to lower their tax bill
13th August 2017
Simon Jack's article here is a good clear explanation for why Amazon is paying less tax this year even though revenues continue to grow strongly. Part of the answer is in the staff compensation scheme where each full-time employee is given £1,000 of free shares each year.
Amazon UK services pay lower taxes as rising share price hits cost of giving shares to employees. Good for AMZ, good for staff, bad for HMRC
