Any international purchase should be well researched beforehand imho to avoid nasty surprises in the form of import charges and the like.

Maybe check out this site

VAT

"As well as UK duty, you will have to pay VAT. Many people make the mistake of thinking that the VAT will be calculated only on the cost of the goods but this is wrong; VAT is calculated based upon the TOTAL cost of shipping the goods to the UK and is usually made up of the cost of the goods from the supplier together with the cost of shipping and duty. You are paying VAT on the total cost accrued when bringing the goods to the UK."


Try their quick calculator for future purchases

If you mean corporation tax then different rules apply, but I'm sure Google, amazon etc have to pay VAT like everyone else. In fact I'm sure they are very thorough in applying it to ensure they don't end up out of pocket.
