ITALY: Google agrees to pay Italy USD 340 million to settle tax evasion investigation

As published on: ptinews.com, Friday 21 February, 2025.

Italian prosecutors on Wednesday said they are seeking to have a tax evasion investigation against Google dropped after the tech giant agreed to pay a 326 million Euro (USD 340 million) settlement.

Milan prosecutors had opened an investigation against Google for failure to pay taxes on earnings in Italy from 2015-2019. The investigation focused on revenues from the sale of advertising, and cited the presence of servers and other infrastructure in Italy.

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
