How much do you think Apple pays the US govt in taxes? The US is held together by taxes on the working man and small businesses. Massive corporations don't pay their fair share.
How can you expect the tax situation to be better in Sierra Leone?
- simonh 7y agoApple paid about $35bn in corporate income taxes globally in the last 3 years. Their effective global corporate tax rate is 24.6 percent and most of their taxes were paid in the US.

- simonh 7y agoYes that’s absolutely true, they do take advantage of international tax rules, but the insinuation that they pay almost no or very low overall corporate taxes is not true. I doubt the OP I was replying to expected the answer to be 24.6% of corporate income. I’ve got no objection to claims that’s too low, it’s a legitimate question, but let’s at least discuss this from an informed position.
