How do some people manage to squeeze so much stupid into such a small brain.

Of course they will deduct the money, the same as if they pay to HUKD for referring users to their website. Not sure what you're trying to say. :confused:

As far as i was aware they dont pay tax anyway so the state isnt going to lose much.
In fact the charities will probably take more from this than the govt will in tax.

It has to be HMRC. NHS is going to get all the savings from EU contributions pretty soon, LOL (remember the bus?) :smile:

Simply cancel the order with Amazon. Click on the charity link (you want to support) and find a link to amazon on that page. Click on the link and buy whatever you have been planning to buy in the first place.

I didn't realise they did this over here. On the US site it's much easier to setup (it's done through the Amazon website) and the list of charities appears to be endless

That's Amazon Smile - Amazon give only 0.5 % instead of 5% to the charity.

just remember that this 5% they donate will be tax deductible. so less 5% to the state.

I'm saying that the 5% which would've been received by the state in tax. Will instead be given to a charity. So based on how much tax they paid last year potentially £600,000 will be denied to us, the taxpayer.

Every single business in the UK will deduct the money they'll give to charity. Are you trying to convince anyone not to support any charity (or business that will give them money) because the government won't get as much tax from them?

I'm saying the money is outright denied to us, the taxpayer. It's not part of a referral payment from their marketing budget which is accounted for in their pricing. This costs them nothing. But denies us. Based on how much tax they did pay last year, which was a pittance to start with a further £600,000 will be denied to us.
