Italy looking at Google proposal to close tax dispute: source
Italy's tax authorities are looking at a proposal from Google to
pay between 270 million and 280 million euros ($296 million) to wrap up a tax
dispute, a source close to the matter said on Tuesday.Early last year Italian tax police presented a
claim against Google for the non-payment of taxes between 2009 and 2013 to the
tune of 227 million euros.One of the sticking points to reaching a final settlement with
the U.S. giant is a commitment from Google to pay taxes in Italy in the future,
the source said."Google is continuing to work with the competent
authorities," a Google spokeswoman said.(This version of the story corrects second paragraph
to read "early last year" instead of "earlier this year")(Reporting by Emilio Parodi, writing by Stephen
