Google has agreed to pay 326 million
euros to settle a tax dispute with Italian authorities and
Milan's State Attorney's Office, which was probing Google
Ireland Limited on tax evasion charges, has asked to shelve the
case, Milan Chief Prosecutor Marcello Viola said in a note on
Wednesday.
Viola wrote that prosecutors asked a preliminary investigations
judge (GIP) to shelve the case against Google Ireland Limited
after the settlement to pay Italy's Revenue Agency claims over
sanctions, penalties and interests covering the "years from 2015
to 2019".
After an investigation carried out by Milan's tax police and
finance guards, the probe led by Milan prosecutors had found
that the company did not file and pay taxes on revenues
generated in Italy, said the statement.
In 2017, Google agreed to pay the internal revenue agency 306
million euros in taxes after finance police acting under the
instructions of Milan prosecutors conducted probes relating to
the 2009-2013 period.
