No thanks, I’d rather continue to live under my rock and pretend dumb idiots like that don’t exist in this era... stupidity isn’t the word for people like that! Utter madness... couldn’t make it up, perhaps they’ve been watching Thor too much? I’ll save my sanity and avoid reading about them.
This story is about it the EU and the EU has gone after Ireland which is the country allowing Apple to pay 0.005% tax on its none US global earnings it piped through none existing offices there.. so the EU governments, or authorities have gone after them and are demanding billions in back payment, because every European is paying for Apples and Ireland’s ‘special deal’. The EU isn’t like the US, we pay our taxes generally and if you don’t pay them how do you spect your roads to be repaired? Schools run? Library’s run? Emergency services to operate? And so on and on and on.. big corporations that dodge tax are not very defensible and that includes any none US ones.
The deal they had did breach EU law, hence the EU taking Ireland to court over it, and they won too and are still wining despite Apples pathetic arguing over the matter. Why should Europeans in 27 countries pay state aid to Ireland, whilst Ireland lets Apple Pay practically nothing and almost launder its money through them? Hardly ‘doing everything for the customer’ as Cook claims..
These big corps dodging taxes in the EU is a sore subject, more so the US giants doing it..
Wrong and not ignorant, you obviously don’t fully understand what Apple and Ireland did, I guess your American? I don’t see why I or any other European should pay for Apples tax dodging.
