Italy claims 1 billion euros in unpaid taxes from Google

Italy is asking Google to pay 1 billion euros ($1.07 billion) in unpaid taxes and penalties, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter said on Friday, seven years after the US company settled a landmark tax dispute with Rome authorities.

“We comply with tax regulations in all countries where we operate, including Italy,” a Google spokesperson said in a statement, in response to a Reuters query about the claim. “We cooperate with the authorities.”
