Embiggening AWS doubles its UK sales to £254m

Re: "tax evading"

Well, it def says tax evading. For a statement like that,there must have been a conviction (of Amazon Web Services), or surely it's libel. It's certainly not reasonable comment, or anything like that ..

Re: "tax evading"

I presume they meant tax avoidance (avoidance is legal; evasion is illegal).

Quick, get out the tippex!

Re: "tax evading"

When I read the first line I went straight to comments but you'd already made the point. It's a doubly incompetent comment because AWS is a division of Amazon Inc. so cannot evade tax because it's not a separate legal entity with a duty to provide a corporation tax return.

It is disappointing to me that people feel compelled to make such statements and that The Register's editor's let the comment through. But if such statements are to be made, it would be good that the comments are at least feasible.

What's that saying? It's better to be silent and appear foolish than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
