Ireland allowed Apple a loophole where they were incorporated there, but non-resident, and therefore no tax. It was a sweetheart deal and Ireland got jobs and investment. The EU said no, wants the back tax to be paid.
- petre 9y agoRetroactive taxes and tax regulation? It's too bad the EU officials did not think about that loophole before it was abused.
- owebmaster 9y agoNot too bad, you just go after the abusers. Why not?
- soVeryTired 9y agoThey did think about it. The law says "No state aid for companies", and the ruling says Ireland gave state aid.
- petre 9y agoThen Ireland should be fined.
- ringtail 9y agoThe rule applied to every company. Its not even hard. Its as simple as it can get. Hows that state aid ?
