Amazon shifts up to £8.2bn of UK revenues to low-tax Luxembourg, report finds

Exclusive: Governments are subsidising the growth of a monopoly by allowing ecommerce giant to legally report billions of pounds of sales in a tax haven, argues report commissioned by Unite union

A comprehensive analysis of the ecommerce giant’s accounts and public statements found that in its US accounts, Amazon had declared £13.7bn of UK sales in 2019. However, in filings for its UK-based companies, Amazon had only reported £5.5bn in sales.

Allegedly the Municipality of Argostoli, which now extends down as far as Poros and beyond, is paying out thousands of euros every week in fines for not employing life guards on its beaches.

Sail boat EMERALD grounded off Alykes Marmaga, Ithaka, yesterday afternoon. In a, ahem, chain reaction, yacht RUBY, which was at anchor near the Emerald pulled the anchor of the yacht GARIBALDI, causing it to impact with the Emerald and pull its anchor.

One of twelve on board the Emerald was injured and taken to the local Health Centre on Ithaka for treatment and then transferred to Argostoli hospital. Both the Emerald and the Garibaldi were confined to  port awaiting re-certification of seaworthiness.
