Amazon says it paid more than £1.3 billion in UK taxes last year, with its total tax bill rising by at least a fifth. The company attributes the increase to higher labour and business costs, which it says have pushed up the amount it owes and pays. Amazon also states that the portion of tax it pays directly in the UK rises by at least 20% in 2025, up from more than £1 billion previously. Separate reports describe Amazon as one of the UK’s largest employers, with around 75,000 staff, placing the tax figure in the context of its broader UK operations. The articles do not provide additional detail on the breakdown of taxes or specific categories of liability, but they agree on the headline figure of more than £1.3 billion and the scale of the increase. Overall, the reporting centers on Amazon’s own statement about its UK tax payments and the company’s explanation for why the bill has increased.
