I’d rather they paid their UK taxes than try to bribe public opinion by offering a 0.5% of spend donation to a charity, tbh.

That said, given I have little ability to make them be a decent corporate guest in our country, I might as well take the 30 pieces of silver.

0.5% of their revenue is probably more than 20% of profits attributable to UK, if everyone took up the offer.

You think they’re making less than 2.5% net margin? Ok then.

maybe not that low, i didnt think the actual numbers through so "probably" is wrong word. its worth considering though, they are a high volume box shifter, so not high margin. i did read that ~70% of their revenue comes from AWS.

The standard commission they offer through their affiliate programme goes up to 10% of revenue for some categories of goods. I know a couple of website owners that are part of their affilate programme - they reckon they get an average of 5-7% back. One can only assume there’s still money being made by Amazon...
