Google £130m UK back-tax deal lambasted as ‘derisory’ by expert

Quote:
Google’s attempt to counter criticism of its tax arrangements by agreeing to make a back payment of £130m in the UK unravelled after claims that the internet giant had effectively paid an annual rate of corporation tax of just 2.77% over the last decade. Most British businesses currently pay corporation tax on 20% of their profits. But even after the extra payment, the internet giant is said to have paid just £200m in tax since 2005, on estimated profits in the UK of £7.2bn.
So Google has back-negotiated a 2.77% tax-rate for the last 10 years. Is it reasonable or just that a huge corporation making billions should pay less tax than an individual earning an average salary?

You (rhet.) want corporations to stop using tax loopholes, stop making the tax loopholes legal.

Bunch of whiny politicians.

...

We've all been through this before, multiple times.
