"Internet retailer Amazon said it had received a $252 million demand from the French tax authorities for back taxes, interest and penalties in relation to the allocation of income between foreign jurisdictions.

An Amazon official referred to the tax demand, which had not been previously widely reported, at a UK parliamentary committee hearing.
Amazon minimises its tax bill in France and other European countries by channeling sales through Luxembourg, which offers tax breaks to foreign companies which base themselves there"
