Amazon faces new questions over tax
|
16.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- Front Page |
| Exclusive: Guardian investigation shows key role of British-based staff in pushing tax rulebook to its limits
MPs are ready to haul Amazon back to parliament to answer new questions about its tax status in Britain after a Guardian investigation's findings suggest the online retailer is pushing the tax rulebook to its limits to minimise its tax bill.
Company filings showed Amazon's main UK company paid just £3.2m in corporation tax on sales of £320m last year. However, the Seattle-based group has told investors its 2012 UK sales were £4.2bn.
The Guardian investigation has found Amazon pushing definitions close to breaking point; and tax authorities unable, or unwilling, to prevent the imposition of aggressive tax avoidance structures.
Information collected by the Guardian details extensive UK activities that suggest HM Revenue and Customs could take a much tougher line on taxing Amazon's multibillion-pound British operations.
Among the key indicators of whether a business is taxable ... |

In Fort Duchesne, a federally funded health clinic offers free medical care — prenatal care, well-baby checks, dentistry and eyeglasses — to patients with Ute Indian ancestry. But under the Affordable Care Act, some of the clinic’s patients may have to either buy health insurance they don’t need or pay a tax penalty. American Indians are exempted from the act’s upcoming mandate to buy insurance, but its definition is limited to those who are members of approximately 560 tribes recognized by the... ... |

Tax: how Amazon passed the Slough test and prospered
|
16.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| HMRC believes Amazon has no fixed place of business in the UK. Perhaps it needs to look again at what goes on in Berkshire
The way companies are taxed has changed with the way corporations have developed in the last 100 years, expanding beyond national borders. The emergence of substantial international trade in the 1920s prompted countries to agree tax treaties in an attempt to ensure profits were appropriately taxed where they were generated.
Despite these efforts, tax engineers have caused problems for exchequers around the world for decades as they have built clever corporate structures to mimimise tax bills for their multinational corporate clients. The advent of the internet has opened up a new front in this battle for tax fairness.
A new generation of cyber-corporations have been able to tell the taxman they do not carry out taxable activities in territories from which they generate billions of pounds in sales.
The British tax authorities appear to agree that Amazon can avoid ... |

Germany backs campaign to keep UK in EU

The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Government figures in Berlin say they see continued UK membership of the EU as central to helping reverse economic decline
The German government has thrown its formidable weight in Europe behind a campaign to keep Britain in the EU, describing the fallout from a UK exit from the union as a disaster for all parties and also supporting Washington's pressure on London to stay in.
Top government figures in Berlin made absolutely clear they saw continued UK membership of the EU as central to Berlin's priorities in seeking to reverse European economic decline and to counter protectionist pressures in France and other Mediterranean countries.
The leading politicians in Berlin said they wanted to reopen the Lisbon Treaty to repair the mess left by three years of financial crisis, supplying David Cameron with an opportunity to try to reset the terms of UK membership before putting the outcome to a referendum.
But Berlin concedes that Paris may be the biggest problem in getting its way since a ... |

US budget deficit's fall should make European 'austerians' think again
|
15.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Budget shortfall predicted to drop to 4%, from 10% in 2009, vindicating Obama's policy of US growing its way out of debt
If only the "austerians" had listened. According to the latest forecasts, the US budget deficit will shrink to 4% of GDP this year.
The slide from 2009's 10.1% budget shortfall is one in the eye for the Tea party and any other advocate of "contractionary expansion".
Worse for the fans of austerity, forecasts published by the US congressional budget office expect the deficit to fall to 2.1% of GDP by 2015 as tax revenues soar.
By comparison, the UK's official forecaster, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), expects a budget deficit on a Maastricht treaty basis of 7.6% this year. Not until 2017 will it fall below the Maastricht maximum of 3%.
The Obama administration was regularly battered by critics who said the deficit would balloon without massive budget cuts. The president resisted much of the rhetoric and put in place a stimulus plan. It was weaker than ... |
