A combination image shows excerpts of four LinkedIn profiles of UK-based Google employees as displayed on the LinkedIn website. In 2012, a Google executive defended its low UK tax bill by telling parliament the company does not have sales operations in Britain. A Reuters examination raises questions about that. If the UK tax authority were to decide that UK-based employees do sell to British clients, UK law could consider Google to have a tax residence, lawyers and academics say. Google UK Ltd. employed 1,300 people at the end of 2011. The LinkedIn profiles of around 150 London-based employees said they were involved in formulating sales strategy, managing sales teams, closing deals or other sales work. To match Special Report TAX/UK-GOOGLE. A combination image shows excerpts

LinkedIn Corp extended its hot streak on Thursday, announcing both blow-out quarterly profits and a bullish forecast for the new year that exceeded Wall Street's already lofty expectations. The results reaffirmed the professional social network's reputation as a fast-growing but sure-footed business - and the star exception in a mostly disappointing social media sector. Excluding certain items, net income was $40.2 million, or 35 cents a share, well above the 19 cents expected by analysts polled by emThomson Reuters/em I/B/E/S. The results meant LinkedIn beat analyst estimates for the seventh quarter in a row and sent shares of the company, which have doubled in the past 12 months, soaring 9 percent higher to $135 after hours. Revenue rose a better-than-expected 81 percent from a year ago to $303.6 million, as millions of new job seekers and corporate recruiters around the world signed up with LinkedIn to post resumes or poach competitors' employees.
