Microsoft Publishes FY25 Tax Report, Citing $6.3 Billion Paid in the EU

Summary
Microsoft released its first public country-by-country tax report for FY25, covering revenue, profit, employees, and income tax accrued and paid across jurisdictions subject to EU disclosure rules.
The company said the publication extends data it has already provided to tax authorities under the OECD framework and is meant to address transparency concerns around how multinational tax figures are interpreted.
France illustrates those timing effects: FY25 cash tax paid there was distorted by a one-time refund for an earlier overpayment, while Microsoft said it paid $374 million of tax in France over the prior three years.
Microsoft framed the report within a broader contribution to local economies, saying it paid $28.7 billion in corporate income taxes globally last year and spent $176 billion in capital expenditure over the three years to June 30, 2025.
