In Australia, Google Pays Just $74k Tax On Claimed Revenues of $200 Million


daria42 writes "Looks like Apple isn't the only company with interesting offshore taxation practices. The financial statements for Google's Australian subsidiary show the company told the Australian Government it made just $200 million in revenue in 2011 in Australia, despite local industry estimating it actually brought in closer to $1 billion.

Not bad work if you can get it — which Google apparently can."
