Amazon's UK tax payments rose significantly last year, reflecting increased operational expenses. The company's UK tax contributions in 2025 surpassed £1.3 billion, representing a rise of over 20% from the more than £1 billion it paid in 2024. Increased expenses for staff and operations, including a national insurance rate rise and higher corporation tax, drove this increase.
