Apple after the IRS puts Google in the crosshairs: hypothesis evasion Billion – The Messenger

The Italian tax on multinationals tightens the web. There is only the dossier Apple, which yesterday concluded the dispute with the Inland Revenue pulling a check for 318 million euro to the exchequer. On the table of the Milan prosecutor’s office there are four areas of inquiry opened against the same number of companies with accounting abroad – especially in countries from the fiscal benefits such as Ireland – the profits made on the Italian market. Are Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Western Digital, the group US hard drive manufacturer.

ESTEROVESTIZIONI
 Topping the list of the giants of the network finished in the crosshairs of magistrates in Milan there is Google, led by Sundar Pichai. The investigation against persons unknown, concerns an alleged tax evasion by a maxi billion euro that the multinational Californian would have made by not paying taxes in Italy related to advertising contracts with local customers. As in the case of Apple, the Inland Revenue is negotiating with the leaders of the Italian group to reach an agreement the figure around which they try to close the litigation is about 150 million euro. Palazzo Chigi remember that just recently there was a meeting between Matteo Renzi and the head of Apple, Tim Cook, to find an agreement. The agreement is close to signing, while the big American research network is also facing both formal procedures opened by the EU.

Enquiry just closed again in Milan for Western Digital, in the middle of a case of hypothesized esterovestizione: fictitious location abroad of tax residence and the heart of the activity is in Italy. Still in the early stages of the investigation instead of Amazon and Facebook: the e-commerce giant has opened a file still no suspects nor offense, while the activities of the Italian social Zuckerberg is under investigation of the financial police . The agreement with Apple Italy, in proceedings for alleged tax evasion for 879 million euro, could do to “tread” towards resolving tax disputes with other groups from the web.

“It is an international precedent that could open the way for the regularization of relations between Italy and the multinationals’ industry, explain sources of the Prosecutor. It ‘the first time that the company founded by Steve Jobs closes a tax dispute in one of the countries where we operate by paying a maxi-compensation. Fixed trouble with the tax authorities, however, remains the criminal case against three managers: the CEO of Apple Italy Enzo Biagini, the financial director Mauro Cardaio and the manager of the Irish Apple Sales International, Michael Thomas O’Sullivan accused of non declaration.
