DANISH tax authorities are demanding 5.8 billion kroner (US$1.01 billion) in tax arrears from Microsoft, public broadcaster DR reported yesterday.
"Microsoft owes the treasury five billion kroner ... amounting to a total of 5.8 billion with interest included," DR said on its website.
Danish tax authority SKAT is in negotiations with its US counterpart and the company to try to recover the "huge sum," the broadcaster said.
The unpaid taxes relate to Microsoft's acquisition of Danish group Navision, now called Microsoft Dynamics Nav, through its Irish subsidiary.
SKAT believes the US group underpaid for the firm and then transferred its assets to Ireland, which has a lower tax rate.
