your issue is with *ireland*, not apple.

don't believe everything you read.

google, facebook, intel and others are benefiting from this supposed
apple deal.

the reality is that it's the tax code and it would be foolish to *not*
take advantage of it.

Except they don't do that. They make LIMITED hardware at exorbitant
prices knowing that there are enough dumb people out there willing to
buy it as a fashion statement.

It's accurate. Apple's taxes are mostly paid elsewhere and they've
been avoiding giving the United States even a dime. They went to court
over it near and after Jobs' death and Tim Cook was asked point-blank
why Apple avoids paying taxes in the United States. Try to pause your
fanboyism for a day to look it up.

Apple pays a HUGE amount in taxes, and they use legal means to avoid 
paying more than they have to.

'It’s the third thing that’s so interesting though. About this shifting 
of cash flows and tax debts through time. Last year Apple made 
provisions for tax of $8.283 billion (Provision for income taxes 8,283). 
Which was indeed 24.2% of their profits declared in that year. Now, in 
this trading year they’ve actually paid over $7.682 billion.'

Apple

pays a lot but also avoids paying a lot. To be fair, I would
probably do the same in their position since the United States have
taken it upon themselves to tax the crap out of corporations to the
extent that none of them want to do business in your country anymore
but it's still unethical for an American company to do so.

Your claim was:

'They went to court over it near and after Jobs' death'

A congressional subcommittee hearing is not a court.

Whoops, I posted the wrong link there.

One, about what's going on in the United States by Apple:
<http://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/14/tim-cook-addresses-apples-us-taxes-says-
no-repatriation-without-fair-rate.html>
... they want a fair rate but:

<http://ca.finance.ret1p.global.media.yahoo.com/news/tim-cook-attacks-eu
- -tax-114817858.html>

Turns out they weren't paying their fair share according to the _court_
.

No.

The "European Commission" is not a court.

Incorrect, and a dodge.

Your initial claim:

'They [Apple] went to court over it near and after Jobs' death and Tim 
Cook was asked point-blank why Apple avoids paying taxes in the United 
States.'

So.

1. They didn't go to court.

2. The European Commission is not a court.

3. Apple didn't go to them either.

4. The group that asked Tim Cook "point-blank" was not the European 
Commission. It was a US sub-committee.

5. They didn't say that Apple avoids paying taxes in the US.

6. Apple DOES pay billions in taxes in the US.


You're just digging yourself a deeper and deeper hole, here.

Irrelevant, since
a) the EU is not a Common Law jurisdiction; and
b) the Commission can issue binding orders.

The closest analogue in Common Law countries would be a quasi-judicial 
administrative law tribunal.

Ireland is trying to wiggle out of the binding order re: Apple's tax 
obligations.

None of that makes "Slimer's" claims into truth.

What this boils down to is GREED. The EC/EU doesn't actually CARE about 
this as a matter of principle: they care because they want the MONEY.

I wouldn't go so far as to call them dumb people but they are people 
who like the Apple culture, prefer the ease of use right from the moment 
they take the system out of the box and so forth.
And Apple support is number one by far.

People are willing to pay extra for that.
That being said, there is nothing magical about Apple hardware or 
software for that matter with one exception and that is it is all 
controlled tightly (although that seems to be fading a bit with the last 
updates) so it tends to work well together.

As long as Apple isn't doing anything illegal, they would be doing their 
shareholders a disservice if they were paying more taxes than legally 
required.

The same goes for Trump BTW.
What kind of an idiot doesn't try to reduce his taxes LEGALLY by using 
every line in the tax code to his advantage?

Every single one of us in USA does it every year.
Key word LEGALLY.

yep.

<https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Learned_Hand>
  Billings Learned Hand (January 27, 1872 ­ August 18, 1961), usually
  called simply Learned Hand, was an American judge famous as an avid
  supporter of free speech and for applying economic reasoning to
  American tort law. He is noted as one of the most influential
  American judges to have never served on the Supreme Court of the
  United States.

...

  € Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low
  as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best
  pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase
  one's taxes.
  € Helvering v. Gregory, 69 F.2d 809, 810-11 (2d Cir. 1934).

...

  € Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister
  in so arranging one's affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible.
  Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes
  any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced
  exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of
  morals is mere cant.
  € Commissioner v. Newman, 159 F2d 848 (1947).

Hehehe... even Hillary uses the tax code to her advantage.  She wrote
off 'Used old underwear' on her return.  I got this info from Hannity
off of his radio network.
