Indonesia's tax office will investigate Alphabet Inc's Google for suspected unpaid taxes from billions of dollars worth of advertising revenue, a senior finance ministry official said on Thursday. PT Google Indonesia, incorporated in 2011, said it was complying with the government. "We continue to cooperate fully with local authorities and pay all applicable taxes," a Google Indonesia spokesman said in an emailed response to questions. Yahoo and Google have formed Indonesian limited liability companies, while Twitter and Facebook operate branches of their Asia-Pacific offices in Indonesia. There was no immediate explanation for the wide discrepancy of the two agencies' estimates for digital advertising revenue.
