Inquiry into tax 'loop hole' at Amazon

Amazon is under investigation for tax arrangements that allowed it to make £3.3bn sales in the UK last year yet pay no corporation tax because it is registered in Luxembourg. The inquiry into the company, which sells a quarter of British books, was revealed in files released in the US.

Well - who'd a'thought it ..........

Wow. That first story. Just wow.
