France seems to think Amazon
owes $252 million in back taxes, interest and penalties. The retail giant thinks otherwise and says it will "
vigorously contest" this. Is there any other way to contest a $250+ million tax claim?
Amazon said it would fight the tax claim, in court if
necessary, and that the demand related to the calendar years 2006
through 2010. "We disagree with the proposed assessment and intend to
vigorously contest it," the company said in its third quarter results
filed last month. An Amazon official referred to the tax demand, which
had not been previously widely reported, at a UK parliamentary committee
hearing.
