Could you translate the sidebar, please? Google Translate seems to say that they want to tax Microsoft on annual income, rather than the transfer itself.

And it gives a surprisingly large amount for the amount that Microsoft is supposed to have earned. (See my comment for details of why it is surprising: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5320784 )

I did a very quick translation—it does contain some important information, as it turns out.

The gist seems to be that there is 11B DKK in additional income that is subject to taxes and interest, 5B and 0.8B DKK respectively, totalling the 5.8B number we’ve come to know.

In your own words, Skat appear to allege that the deal was underpriced by at least 5B (real 2013) DKK.
