Why are they paying taxes if they have a huge order backlog. Expand your production capability. Amazon famously had no profits on paper for many years because of their relentless expansion.

> Why are they paying taxes
"Paying our taxes" in this kind of context is nearly always shorthand for "filling out our tax returns". That part usually takes a substantial hunk of time. The actual payment process is typically writing a check or entering credit card info, which just takes a few seconds.

The post is about how they don't have the capital to safely expand production capacity, which is why they're raising more.
Maybe they're not trying to be great at the tax avoidance game.
