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.
