If Amazon don't pay tax  which is the best way of paying for our schools & hospitals: a) increase income tax    b) reduce benefit payments?

Lots of companies that used to pay tax are no longer in business.  If you have saved money by using Amazon it may be wise to put the cash in a jam jar ready for when you need (private) hospital treatment because NHS funds are reduced.

...and to pay school fees by the same reasoning.

...and to pay road tolls by the same reasoning.

    Amazon may not COLLECT. They pay income tax, and YOU are still legally liable for sales tax, regardless of where you buy.

    What are you blabbering about....

    Amazon pays billions of dollars in tax each year = even when they don't pay corporate income tax.
