I remain unable to see what is so controversial about charging a world-spanning corporation a decent level of tax. Individuals have to pay tax, so why not Amazon? It's not like Amazon provides well-paying jobs.

The method the EU has used to apply tax to Amazon is of course absurd. Treating tiny online retailers with the same taxation scheme is idiotic. Shame.

One thing I'm not clear about is whether this "tax" only relates to digital products. Does this mean that Amazon will only have to charge higher rate VAT on e-books and music, but not on physical products?
