Google’s corporation tax payment jumps to €27.7m

The amount of corporation tax Google paid in Ireland last year jumped by nearly €11m to €27.7m.

Google Ireland also saw a near-10% increase in annual turnover, from €15.5bn to €17bn, which was driven by increases in advertising generated by its websites.

Newly filed accounts for the Irish arm of the internet giant also show a 28.5% jump in after-tax profit for 2013, to €154.5m.
