Apple made profits outside of the US and is keeping that money outside the US. They are also in full compliance with tax laws. They have no obligation to pay more in taxes than the law requires.
The whining here smacks of envy.
- maaku 13y agoWTF? This isn't about the U.S. at all. It's about making money in the UK, Germany, etc. and yet, somehow, most of that money making it to B.V.I. with minimal (<1%) tax burden.
- WalterSear 13y agoYou think that maybe they should pay taxes somewhere else, though? It's not the US that's being shafted - everywhere else is, including Ireland.
- notahacker 13y agoThe article here explains how according to tax authorities, a Apple's Irish registered subsidiaries avoided Irish tax by being based nowhere for tax purposes (earlier in the year they had the cheek to issue a corporate communication stating they didn't use tax havens...). Legal or not, if you think that's anything other than a perversion of the truth I have a bridge to sell you. The apologism here smacks of someone that didn't read the article.
