Nice work if you can get it: Microsoft has told Australia's Senate committee into Corporate Tax Avoidance that it's negotiated how much of its hard-earned cash it'll fork over to the Australian Taxation Office.
However, the company has declined to say just how much of a hole the Office's (ATO's) investigation is burning in its pocket. It's believed payments will reach hundreds of millions of dollars over the next five years.
