Google Inc. said it didn’t receive a tax claim from France after newspaper Le Canard Enchaine reported that the country is seeking 1 billion euros ($1.3 billion) in taxes from the world’s largest search engine.

“Google has not received any tax assessment from the French tax administration,” the company said today in an e-mailed statement. “We have and will continue to cooperate with the authorities in France.”
