Mozilla To Pay $1.5 Million For Its Tax Affair

Mozilla To Pay $1.5 Million For Its Tax AffairBack in 2007, Mozilla has decided that it does not have to pay taxes for the revenue that comes from Google’s search partnership. Why? Because according to them, 66 million (out of 77 million) dollars were a form of contribution and therefore, should not be taxable.

Unfortunately for them, the US government held a different opinion and as a result, Mozilla had to settle and will be paying a total of $1.5 million.

Better luck next time.
