Amazon handed £492 million ($678 million) to the UK taxman last year, from a total of £20 billion ($27 billion) in revenue, as the pandemic and lockdowns nitro-charged their online sales.

Figures filed recently in Companies House show total revenues of £20.63 billion for the group in the UK during 2020, up from £13.73 billion ($18.93 billion) in 2019.
