I was buying something from Amazon and did a Google search to see if I could get cashback on Quidco etc. No cashback available but I've just seen you can shop via this link and it will generate a 5% donation to RNLI, a really great cause.
Edit: oUkTuRkEyIII has pointed out this has been posted before and applies to lots of charities, not just RNLI. I've edited the post to signpost to the recent post to maybe highlight to others that missed it just like I did.

Is there a link which encourages Amazon to pay the correct amount of UK tax?

The charity is called the British Government, the donation is called tax.

Well, if these large corporations paid their tax liability the Government would be able to provide more funds into services such as the NHS so your Mum would not need to rely on charitable trusts for care.
You seem to have an issue with Macmillan as you highlight them, however they are instrumental in the development of cancer treatment. Good old Amazon’s development include how to get Chinese mass produced rubbish to your doorstep by drone.
I know which company contributes more to the wellbeing of this country!
If you want to donate to charity, you can
through http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk just create a login and nominate a charity (even a local one) and buy goods through the website and a % will go to the charity, most shops are there including amazon.

Same for this from what I've seen. Other than amazon, the other rates on kidstart are lower than quidco or topcashback. So you would best using kidstart for amazon and tcb or quidco for everything else before withdrawing and saving in your child's name (if that's what you want)

Thanks for drawing this to people's attention once again. Many people use this site and buy from Amazon and I guess the majority don't know about these affiliate sites which Amazon then donate 5% of total purchase price to. Takes me 20 seconds to close down Amazon, find the affiliate and then click through.
Experienced online buyers and people who know about cashback should really have no trouble doing this.
The people who criticise Amazon's completely legal tax arrangements, from their history tend not to contribute anything to this site and also appear to be complete hyprocrites when looking at their deal history.
It's very simple. Either buy off Amazon without them and you paying 5% to charity or don't!!
If I am spending £100 with Amazon I'd prefer a fiver to go to charity than not. It also makes it a lot easier to say no to aggressive beggars - many of which are professional.
Search for your preferred or local charity as they may be involved now. I was heartened to find that the hospice that looked after my mum has got with the programme so I now always click through there instead of Macmillian which pay obscene salaries to their board or the RNLI

Were excellent. I hope that there is a charity that is close to your heart and that you click through and remember whatever.
Hope that this post gets the exposure and heat it deserves.
Although I suspect it will be superseded but fake deals or Tesco wild goose chases and the trolls that scour the site.
Already a few ignores on here!!
