The topic of tax either puts people to sleep, or makes them homicidal.
But now it's given the spoof treatment. This new book, of 50 short ways to get Amazon to pay more tax, is available on the Kindle, Amazon's own e-reader, as well as from other outlets.
Author PK Munroe admits this is "a bit cheeky" but says it seemed the perfect place for it. "If the book does well, they will pay more tax, maybe."
The book includes ideas for "consumer disobedience" to embarrass the multinational giant to pay more tax, including:
• dressing up as a tax inspector and hanging around Amazon's offices,
• encouraging them to pay by letting them re-name the river Trent as 'The Amazon',
• setting up barrage balloons on the roof of your house to interfere with deliveries by Amazon drones.
Amazon's strict treatment of its warehouse employees, whose toilet breaks are limited and timed, is harped upon, with one suggestion that similar rules should apply at Amazon's shareholder meetings.
Possibly the shortest ebook on the planet, this is priced as cheaply as possible, partly to avoid the author having to pay too much tax himself.
