Google is willing to pay more tax, the technology group's chief executive said (Richard Fletcher writes).
"We are happy to pay more tax, whatever the world agrees to," Sundar Pichai said during a conversation with Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum.
The company would equalise the distribution of its tax payments across different countries, he added, as Google expanded outside the United States, taking on more staff. Alphabet, Google's parent company, paid about 20 per cent tax globally, he claimed.
Alphabet has been accused by critics of paying too little tax in Britain.
