Google to pay 326 million euros to Italian tax authorities

Google has agreed to pay 326 million euros to the Italian tax authorities to settle a tax dispute, the Milan prosecutor's office announced last Wednesday (19).

The Italian courts had opened an investigation against Google Ireland Limited for tax evasion, given that the platform had a debt of taxes, sanctions, penalties and interest relating to the period between 2015 and 2019.

Standing in line at the consulate doesn't erase your right to citizenship.

The Italian Supreme Court has confirmed that a consular blockade is legal grounds for legal action.

• Were you unable to schedule an appointment at the consulate?
• Is the process stalled or poorly managed?
• Maternal lineage?
• Incomplete documentation?

See if there is still a solution.

In a statement, Milan's chief prosecutor, Marcello Viola, said that following the agreement between the parties and the payment made by Google, a preliminary investigation judge (GIP) was asked to close the case.

The investigation carried out by Milan's tax police and financial watchdogs found that the company had failed to register or pay taxes on revenues generated in Italy.

In 2017, Google had already reached an agreement to pay 306 million euros in taxes after Milan's financial police conducted investigations related to the period 2009-2013. (HANDLE)
