Translation we might have to pay our fair share.
Remember thisApple says the European Commission's investigation into Ireland's tax treatment of multinationals could have a "material" impact if it was determined that Dublin's tax policies represented unfair state aid. Apple said that if the EU's investigations concluded against Ireland, the company could be required to pay past taxes for up to 10 years "reflective of the disallowed state aid."
The EU began a formal investigation against Ireland in June last year for alleged state aid to Apple. Apple said that as of March 28, it was unable to estimate the impact of having to pay these taxes. "The company believes the European Commission's assertions are without merit," Apple said in a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday.
And who do they cry to, the American taxpayer funded US government, the same government they do their best to avoid paying taxes to,Apple avoids taxes with complex web of offshore entities, Senate inquiry finds
By Cecilia Kang May 20, 2013
Apple used a complex web of offshore entities with no employees or physical offices that allowed it to pay little or no taxes on tens of billions it earned overseas, according to a Senate investigation unveiled Monday.
Between 2009 and 2012, the company shielded at least $74 billion in profits from U.S. tax laws by setting up subsidiaries in Ireland under a special arrangement, the report said.
While the practice of using foreign operations to avoid U.S. taxes is legal and common among multinationals, Apples scheme was unprecedented in its use of multiple affiliates that had no semblance of a physical presence, Senate staffers said.
The electronics giants rootless subsidiaries had just one purpose: to funnel much of the companys global profits and dodge billions of dollars in U.S. tax obligations, according to the report by the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
