Google Australia paid $133m in tax in 2019 in major victory for ATO

Tech giant's tax turnaround follows a government campaign to force multinationals to pay more tax

Google's Australian arm paid $133m to the Taxation Office last year as it caught up with back taxes.

The company, one of the ATO's most high-profile targets in a campaign to get tech giants to pay tax in Australia, declared a profit before tax of $134m in 2019, down from $156m the previous year.
