The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has said Microsoft owes the US Treasury $28.9 billion (€26 billion) in back taxes, plus penalties and interest, the company revealed in a securities filing.

Critics of that practice, known as transfer pricing, argue that companies frequently use it to minimise their tax burden by reporting lower profits in high-tax countries and higher profits in lower-tax jurisdictions....
