So? Then the UK needs to close the loopholes that allow Google to operate this way.

Google is not obligated in any way shape or form to pay more for taxes if there are rules and regulations that state they can operate their business in a certain way that allows them to not be taxed for that amount of money.

As a socialist I don't agree with that (I am from Europe), and I wish they did pay more taxes as it would certainly help the various governments there provide social services, at the same time I can definitely see that Google who is accountable to its shareholders and has to make as much money as possible is going to use the loopholes to keep as much money and not have it taxed.
