Google's Spain HQ in Madrid has been raided by local authorities that are investigating the company's tax arrangements, according to Sky News.

Commenting on the raid, a Google spokesperson said: "We comply with the tax law in Spain, as in every other country in which we operate. We are cooperating fully with the authorities in Madrid to answer their questions, as always."

The raid comes less than a month after the search giant's Paris office was raided by French investigators.
