Google tax: European Commission 'willing to probe deal'
From the BBC, and a really good reason to stay in Yerp.
The European Competition Commissioner says she is willing to investigate Google's tax arrangements should someone complain about them.
Her comments come as the SNP's economy spokesman, Stewart Hosie, says it has sent a letter calling for such a probe.
The development comes as the row over Google's tax affairs in the UK and elsewhere intensifies.
Meanwhile, Google has written to the Financial Times defending its £130m deal, saying it complies with the law.
