| US government helping Apple dodge EU taxes US companies can do what they like The US government is helping the fruity cargo-cult Apple dodge millions of taxes in the EU by pressuring governments to look the other way so it can get the money itself. For those who came in late, Apple wants to avoid paying $14.8 billion in Irish taxes because it does not want to, which as far as the American government is concerned is a good enough excuse. iPhone maker Apple took its case to the Luxembourg-based General Court, Europe's second-highest, in December after the European Commission issued the record tax demand saying the U.S. company won sweetheart tax deals from the Irish government which amounted to illegal subsidies. The first to complain was the Obama administration. In that case it was not that his government was hacked off with the EU, it was simply that it thought that it should be paying its tax in the US. http://fudzilla.com/news/44026-us-go...dodge-eu-taxes |
