Google has struck a deal with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and will pay GBP130m in back taxes following a six-year enquiry into its accounts. Moving forward, it will also register a higher portion of its sales through its UK office, rather than Dublin. However, the internet giant has stressed that this does not suggest it has avoided paying tax in the past. Google, which has its European headquarters in Ireland, paid GBP20.4m in taxes in 2013 despite GBP3.8bn sales in Britain.
