The profits of this company are created through user activity in Country B, but are taxed in Country A because that is where the company’s headquarters are.
Sometimes, companies will install their headquarters in Country A on purpose if the tax rate is lower in that country - even if they don’t have many users there.
Warehouse conditions In September 2011, Allentown, Pennsylvania's Morning Call interviewed 20 past and present employees at Amazon's Breinigsville warehouse, all but one of whom criticized the company's warehouse conditions and employment practice. Specific investigatory concerns were: heat so extreme it required the regular posting of ambulances to take away workers who passed out,[95] strenuous workloads in that heat, and first-person reports of summary terminations for health conditions such as breast cancer.[96] The Morning Call also published, verbatim, Amazon.com's direct response to a query by OSHA,[97] where amazon.com detailed its response when heat conditions reach as high as 114 °F (46 °C), including water and ice treatment, electrolyte drinks, nutrition advice, and extended breaks in air conditioned rooms.[98] Five days after the Morning Call article was published, Amazon stated that it had spent $2.4 million "urgently installing" air conditioning at four warehouses including the Breinigsville facility.[99] However, the original investigator states that when he checked back with current employees for his September 23 follow-up story, "they told him nothing had changed since his original story ran."[100]
The EU competition watchdog opened an investigation into the case in June last year, saying Amazon’s e-books contracts with publishers giving it terms as good as those for its rivals may make it difficult for other e-books distributors to compete.
The focus is on Amazon’s e-books in English and German. The company is the biggest e-book distributor in Europe, while the market is growing rapidly. 0073名無しさん@1周年2019/01/09(水) 12:22:03.33ID:m8dy1xO20 AmazonのPBRは27.4倍

The SEC's Jan. 22 response, this time from Mara L. Ransom, assistant director of the Office of Consumer Products, was: "If you are unable to identify or estimate research and development costs, please explain in detail the reasons for your inability. "
Accounting Standards Codification 730-10-55-1 lists activities that "typically would be considered" R&D, while ASC 730-10-55-2 lists those that typically wouldn't be. Amazon's argument was that its people tend to work simultaneously on things on both lists, so it couldn't separate the two. This did not initially convince the SEC's Thompson, who responded on Nov. 24:
Bob Bryan: Amazon avoids paying federal taxes using a variety of tax credits and tax exemptions that are legal and built into the U.S. federal tax code. Some of these can include the research and development tax credit which allows them to deduct some of the costs of new investments and also a big one for this past year was the ability to deduct stock-based compensation of executives.
“Google, Amazon and Redmond, Wash.- based Microsoft all provide similar services, and for the most part users are picking one based on their previous experience as well as on incentives those providers give.
“Right now Google and Microsoft are behind Amazon, but just because they had a late start. With Google and Microsoft's control on businesses/enterprises, my hunch is that they will quickly catch up to Amazon and stay competitive,”
“Large enterprises will make multi-cloud a strategic business imperative. Companies have been burnt by putting too much reliance on one vendor for multiple software needs. Having learnt that lesson, large enterprises are enterprises are wary of doing the same with cloud vendors like AWS.”
Pedophile guide On November 10, 2010, a controversy arose over the sale by Amazon of an e-book by Phillip R. Greaves entitled The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: a Child-lover's Code of Conduct.[82]
Readers threatened to boycott Amazon over its selling of the book, which was described by critics as a "pedophile guide". Amazon initially defended the sale of the book, saying that the site "believes it is censorship not to sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable"[83] and that the site "supported the right of every individual to make their own purchasing decisions". However, the site later removed the book.[84] The San Francisco Chronicle wrote that Amazon "defended the book, then removed it, then reinstated it, and then removed it again".[83] 0078名無しさん@1周年2019/01/09(水) 12:26:49.78ID:m8dy1xO20 犯罪者を擁護していたアマゾン
Greaves was arrested on December 20, 2010 at his Pueblo, Colorado home on a felony warrant issued by the Polk County Sheriff's Office in Lakeland, Florida. Detectives from the county's Internet Crimes Division ordered a signed hard copy version of Greaves' book and had it shipped to the agency's jurisdiction, where it violated state obscenity laws. According to Sheriff Grady Judd, upon receipt of the book, Greaves violated local laws prohibiting the distribution of "obscene material depicting minors engaged in harmful conduct," a third degree felony.[87] Greaves pleaded no contest to the charges and was later released under probation with his previous jail time counting as time served.[88] 0079名無しさん@1周年2019/01/09(水) 12:37:11.61ID:m8dy1xO20 6名刺は切らしておりまして2018/09/05(水) 21:21:27.92ID:GexGaWTg PBR35.62、バカですか?
