Amazon.co.uk, Britain's biggest online retailer (responsible for one in every four books sold in the UK, to name just one product category in its enormous repertoire), is being investigated by British tax authorities as it generated sales of more than $5bn in the UK in 2011 alone, but has paid no corporation tax on any income for at least three years. The Guardian reports that Amazon's tax affairs are being investigated in the US, China, Germany, France, Japan and Luxembourg.
