This is an odd settlement though as it sort of ignores the law. Corporation tax is based on profits - which Google offshore to avoid UK tax (and many other places). Here they have said to them we see what you&#x27;re doing - make nice. So they have drawn up a special formula (secret too) that pays a percentage of UK revenues - just for Google!<p>And of course whilst secret it leaves Google open to manipulate their UK sales too - as whilst they clam some Billions in their UK accounts in their US accounts they claim many Billions more.<p>With their now secret formula the UK public will never be able to pin them down when questioning what they are paying.
