A new study from UNI Global Union has found that e-commerce companies are likely to pay three times less corporate income tax than large brick-and-mortar retail chains.
The report, entitled ‘E-commerce Taxation and its Implications for States, Workers and Trade Unions’ was commissioned by UNI’s commerce sector and supported by FES. It shows that while the Covid-19 pandemic has given a huge boost to online retail sales, e-commerce companies such as Amazon are still able to avoid paying their fair share of tax mostly by shifting profits to various tax havens around the world.
