Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions HM Revenue and Customs have had with Amazon UK on their tax status.

The administration of the tax system, including where appropriate the repayment of tax or duties, is a matter for HM Revenue and Customs. However, multinational companies must pay all taxes due and HM Revenue and Customs do not settle for less. It would not be appropriate for Treasury Ministers to become involved in specific cases.
