Tax authorities in recent weeks served notices on oil company Royal Dutch Shell PLC and U.K.-based Vodafone Group PLC saying they owe higher taxes than they paid because they undervalued the transferof shares between their Indian subsidiaries and other overseas units.
The campaign pointed to census data showing 6, 755 minority residents and 1, 173 public housing units within a quarter mile of the transfer-station site in 2010 more than near six other sites in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan.
The transfer overseas of these kinds of rights rights has enabled Google to attribute earnings to foreign units that pay lower taxes, Bloomberg News reported a year ago.
