DUBLIN: Facebook paid $5.18 million (£4.17 million, 4.63 million euros) in British corporation tax last year, up from just £4,327 in 2014, accounts showed on Sunday.
The sharp increase reflects how the US technology giant has changed the way it records advertising revenues following public criticism.
It began declaring sales from its top British clients in Britain rather than Ireland, where it has its European headquarters — and where corporation tax is lower.
