  3. Google tax decision 'quite rightly done independently'published at 12:34 Greenwich Mean Time 27 January 2016

    David Cameron has insisted that his government has done more than any other to crack down on tax evasion and avoidance, amid an ongoing row over the amount of tax paid by Google.

    Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons,  Mr Cameron said a decision on the amount of tax due was "quite rightly done independently by HMRC".

    He said the government has done more than Labour ever did and "changed the tax law so many times...raising £100 billion from business in the last Parliament".

    The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn said there was one rule for small businesses and individuals and another for international companies and that Google has paid an effective tax rate of 3%, amounting to £130m on profits of £6bn pounds.

    Labour politician and Treasury select committee member John Mann has said the UK tax system "isn't good enough" following Google's £130m tax deal with HMRC.

    Quote Message

    “I see no evidence that Google is doing anything illegal, and therefore the tax system we have isn’t good enough, and the Treasury and George Osborne and HMRC isn’t effective, isn’t working, they don’t have the expertise, they don’t have right people there, the skills, they are not putting the resource in to identifying what the tax take should be and they are allowing companies like Google, almost a free ride."
