Google agrees to pay £130 million in back taxes in the UK

BBC

Quote:

"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."

Good, that's a step in the right direction, and obviously it's because of my boycott. It's the "Google agrees" bit which I don't like. "Google gets told" is what I would have hoped for.
