Corporate tax in France was (until recently) 33%. The government was seeking 1.6B which means it’s estimation of Google’s profit for the years in question was closer to 5B.

Hopefully this kind of fine will void the tax shenanigans Google uses to offshore their profits to Ireland as well as its reduced tax rate there.

Make money in France, pay taxes there. Doesn’t seem like to much to ask.
