>0.005 percent
C'mon Politico writers. Do you really not know the difference between and 0.005 percent and 0.005? You are off by a factor of 100! Apple is allegedly taxed at half a percent! Not 0.005 percent!
I guess there's a reason journalists are known for their writing and not basic math skills.
Moreover, Bloomberg reports this alleged tax rate is entirely made up (funny given Politico is all about fact checking) and there's no primary source affirmation of it: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-01/pinning-down-apple-s-alleged-0-005-tax-rate-mission-impossible https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-01/pinning-d...
