Google escapes 1.1 bn euro tax bill in France

Google is not liable for 1.115 billion euros ($1.272 billion) in unpaid taxes claimed by the French state, a French court ruled Wednesday, saying the internet giant’s Irish subsidiary is not taxable in France. “The French company Google Ireland Limited is not taxable in France for the 2005 to 2010 period,” the court ruled. Google paid just 6.7 million euros in corporate taxes in 2015 in France by booking revenues for its online empire at its European subsidiary in low-tax Ireland, a legal loophole prized by multinationals. The group employs 700 people in France but advertising contracts for its search engine or video-sharing website YouTube are signed with its Irish subsidiary. The French claim was the latest in a series against the California-based group, which faces mounting legal problems in the EU. AFP

But i went same way some other Social media platforms in Iran as the Muslim majority country has completely block the feature across the country.

Ladies and Gentlemen,  Today 4th of November 2014BC in my quest for a better life and satistaction I hereby take this bold step, spread my wings to join this race of blogging.  My philosophy in life is that " life is Lexis and structure and the only rule is fill in the gap but i must say you must mind the gap".  Am on this platform as somebody ready to bridge some (few) gaps in information communication technology with the little I know and with much desire to learn -  I am teachable.  Internet gurus should see me as a brother and make their constructive criticism and credits would be given as deserved.  ...until lamb becomes a lion.
