| Subject: Sadly, Google "agrees" to pay £130m UK tax to HMRC Fri Jan 22, 2016 10:19 pm | |
| Google has agreed to pay £130m in back taxes after an "open audit" of its accounts by the UK tax authorities.
The company had been accused of "not paying its fair share" of tax, and criticised for complex tax structures.
Senior figures at the technology company have said that they want to draw a line under the issue.
"Today we announced that we are going to be paying more tax in the UK," Matt Brittin, the head of Google Europe, told the BBC.
"The rules are changing internationally and the UK government is taking the lead in applying those rules so we'll be changing what we are doing here.
"We want to ensure that we pay the right amount of tax."
