RE: Apple just gave 15 billion to Ireland today

in #finance6 years ago

I for one would like them to pay what is fair. I know they get away with bloody murder and don't pay taxes because of where their headquarters are. They get away with little to no tax in every country because of this.

Sort:  

Yeah and I looked up their earnings for 2016. 46.5 billion!! I think they can afford it!

It would be criminal if they dodged it all and should pay their fair way. I know they spend a fortune on R and D but it is all built in. A phone to actually put together with all it s parts was in the region of $2.50. Even if you multiplied it by 10 it just shows the profit that these guys make.
Trump tried to get them to come back with a tax sweetener and this may just do it now.

Thats the reason we are appealing. 5000 employees with an average wage of 44k a year which is a very high average. (nomally around 38k). Thats alot of money per year in taxes.

That would be a huge chunk of revenue lost. Maybe they drop it by a billion as a sweetener but can't see it honestly. The back door dodging tax thing is not good and doesn't look good.
