Tax avoidance has consequences.
This tax avoidance issue - no matter who or what does it, individual or business - still comes down to the fact that if a lot of money is being made, it makes it increasingly likely that some of it to be used to avoid paying taxes.
Because they can.
Taxes that the rest of the community, without equivalent resources to be able to avoid it, end up paying. And, logically, are not as able to pay so easily.
So you and I - or indeed any smaller commercial concerns - are paying to make up for the taxes that Amazon and the like, avoid.
So, in a roundabout way, we're paying Amazon's taxes - and those of anybody else able to afford tax avoidance strategies.
