Zavvi
The Guardian 16th November 2012
"The Hut (owners of Zavvi) avoids VAT by shipping via the US. Online retailer move to circumvent some tax charges follows chancellor clamped down on products sent via Channel Islands.
That means that goods travel a 7,000 mile round trip to land at your door,as they avoid VAT by shipping goods via the USA.
The Hut no longer works with Tesco or Asda, but has expanded the zavvi.com brand which it acquired from administrators three years ago following the failure of the high street CD and DVD chain store of the same name, previously trading as Virgin Megastore."
Another tax dodger to add to the hall of shame.
