Google's tax deal with the UK: key questions answered

The chancellor's 'huge success' in securing 130m in back taxes from the technology company raises a number of issues

When Google reached a 130m settlement with the British taxman last week, George Osborne described the deal as a "major success". But the chancellor and the search giant have been on the back foot ever since, accused of striking a "sweetheart deal" that might have short-changed taxpayers and has drawn the close attention of Brussels.

Should Osborne have hailed Google's tax deal? Did he misjudge how it would be received?
