[Online retail firm Amazon is facing
a potential investigation by EU officials
over its Luxembourg tax hub.

given to Amazon, including any
potential state aid.
The retailer has come under increasing

states to be assessed for taxation
purposes at its Luxembourg hub.
The company has 800 staff at its
headquarters, where £13.6bn
in EU sales were logged last year,
reportedly reducing its effective tax rate by 8%.]
