Italy claims 1 billion euros in unpaid taxes from Google

Economic Times · 10m

Italy has requested that Google pay 1 billion euros ($1.07 billion) in unpaid taxes and penalties. The claim comes seven years after Google settled a tax dispute with authorities in Rome. Italy's Revenue Agency has initiated an adversarial process with Google, which could lead to a settlement or judicial litigation. The investigation was launched in December 2022 and covers the years 2018 to 2022. The country alleges that Google did not pay taxes on revenues generated in Italy, based on the company's digital infrastructure. If a settlement is reached, this approach may be applied to other multinational web companies under investigation.
