Cash Chats UK Money & Personal Finance podcast #169 Does using Amazon less make a difference?
In 2021 I'm cutting out all spending direct with Amazon. There are a few different reasons but worries about the high street and a desire for Amazon (and other big tech) to pay a fair share of tax are right up there.
To explore why these issues matter I'm joined by Rob Harrison from Ethical Consumer to discuss whether a digital sales tax could work, why workers should be worried about using tech to manage them and whether an indiviual boycott will actually make any difference.
