I suspect that Google will put that through as a Marketing expense, as they don't have to pay any tax normally.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that the figure Goggle are paying for all the years of back taxes, not the figure per year?
I'd like to bet there's someone in HMRC or the government who has a tidy after career job lined up with Google after they stuffed that one down our throat.
Cynical? Moi?

UK is second biggest market for Google, I'd be surprised if they made less than £1 bln real net profit per year, so they should be paying £200 mln every year, this makes £130 mln for old years a pathetic figure that should have been much higher, by a factor of 10 I reckon.
