Amazon’s UK activities sit within Amazon.com, Inc., the US-listed retail and technology group. Its UK tax contribution spans several businesses and legal entities. [1][2]
This profile follows the group rather than one UK subsidiary. A subsidiary’s accounts should not be read as the tax position of every Amazon business serving UK customers. The diagram is a group overview, not a legal-entity register. [1][2]
Headquarters, incorporation and tax residence describe different things. A headquarters address does not tell you where all of a company’s tax is paid.

Amazon reports more than £1.3bn in UK taxes borne for 2025. That combines corporation tax with business rates, national insurance and digital services tax; the disclosure does not isolate corporation tax.
