Rejected petition Google to pay tax based on its "profits from sales" in the United Kingdom.

Sales from UK customers were $6.5bn (£4.56bn), suggesting a profit of more than £1bn from those earnings. As Google UK paid corporate tax of £46.2m in the 18 months to June 2015, that would mean an effective tax rate of about 3 per cent.

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The Government can't apply the law just to one company. If you would like all international companies to pay tax on their UK sales, you could sign this petition:
