A European Court obliges 'Apple' to pay tax of 13 billion euros

Apple has lost its case before the European Union High Court over the decline of tax worth 13 billion euros ($ 14.4 billion) in Ireland, in a group of the European Union’s campaign to limit the special transactions provided by large business countries. The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg has supported a historical decision dating back to 2016 that Ireland has violated the states auxiliary law by giving the manufacturer an unfair advantage to ‘iPhone’ phones. The court ruled on Tuesday to destroy a ruling issued by a minimum degree court in favor of “Apple”, as the judges were wrongly decided that the European Commission organizations made mistakes in its evaluation. A new victory for the European Commission is a victory for the European Union for competition matters, Margaret Vestegger, who is about to delegate in Brussels to end after spending two periods. In 2016, Vesgar on the other side of the Atlantic became angry when it focused on Apple’s tax procedures. It is alleged that Ireland granted illegal benefits to the company based in Cuperno, California, which for many years has enabled it to pay much less tax than other companies in the country. Settler ordered Ireland to recover 13 billion euros, which is equivalent to about two “Mac” devices. The money remained in a whollying account on the final decision. Apple’s response to the ruling, in turn, said a spokeswoman for Apple said: “We are disappointed with today’s decision, as the General Court has checked the facts in the past, and this case has been categorically canceled.” Although it is a negative result of Ireland, which she believes has no tax benefits to Apple or other technology companies to create a headquarters there, it is unlikely that the time that has taken the problem has a major impact on the country, which is a fixed center for European headquarters for a large number of major technology companies. CEO of the company, Tim Cook, previously criticized the movement of the European Union and described it as “complete political nonsense”. The US Treasury also intervened, saying that the European Union makes itself a ‘border border tax authority’ and could threaten global tax reform efforts. The then US President, Donald Trump, said the sector “hates the United States” as “all our companies”. Apple’s decision was the largest ever in the Festricer Campaign, which lasted for a complete contract for tax justice, and also companies such as “Amazon.com” and the “Fiat” Motor Enterprise “Stelantis NV Fiat.). Irish profits are improperly allowed for the ‘head office’ which was only on paper, according to the evaluation of the European Union. reached after Festagger stabbed the Apple victory in the minimum court in 2020. Since then, Vestegger has received several defeats in other tax cases, but has found compassion in the fact that the judges have supported her approach to the use of the rules of assistance to states to attack unfair arrangements. Apple was one of the first giant American technology companies founded in Ireland, thanks to the intention of intentionally low companies in the 1980s and early 1990s, designed to attract foreign investment. The company settled its European headquarters outside the southern city of Cork in 1980 and now employs about 6,000 people in the country. In the years that followed, many tax gaps that were previously available were closed, and in 2021 Ireland signed the measures of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which includes a minimum worldwide tax at 15% for multinational businesses.
