Amazon changes tax practices in Europe as investigations continue: WSJ


CHANGE IS IN THE AIR: The change at the e-commerce company has come amid greater scrutiny of corporate tax avoidance on both sides of the Atlantic in recent years.

NEW YORK: Amazon.com Inc has started booking revenue from retail sales in individual European countries, instead of channelling all sales through low-tax Luxembourg, the Wall Street Journal reported. 

The change was made effective May 1, a company spokesman told the Journal. Amazon said it had started preparing to diversify its retail sales structure two years ago, the Journal reported.
