EU kräver Apple på 13 miljarder Euro i skatt
EU har nu kommit med sitt utslag i målet mot Apple. EU anser att Apple ska betala motsvarande 120 miljarder kronor i skatt till Irland. EU anser att Apple har fått ett olagligt skattestöd.
Domen, som väntas överklagas, kan bli ett riktmärke för an lång rad andra amerikanska bolag som också utreds av EU – Google, Facebook, Yahoo och Microsoft för att nämna några.
EU antitrust regulators ordered Apple (AAPL.O) on Tuesday to pay up to 13 billion euros ($14.5 billion) in taxes to the Irish government after ruling that a special scheme to route profits through Ireland was illegal state aid.
The massive sum, some 40 times bigger than the previous known demand by the European Commission to a company in such a case, could be reduced, the EU executive said in a statement, if other countries sought more tax themselves from the U.S. tech giant.
Apple, whoch with Ireland, has already said it will appeal the decision, paid a tax rate on European profits of between 0.005 and 1 percent, the Commission said. ($1 = 0.8954 euros)
