In addition, Google will pay 130M UK Pounds in back taxes representing tax on sales since 2005.

    Well the phrasing "come to an agreement" says it all..
    For any normal person you don't come to an agreement with the government, they state how much tax you owe and you have to pay it or you go to jail, there's no negotiation.
