Irish cabinet votes to appeal EU's $14.5B tax penalty on Apple
It feels a bit like Capriguy looks a bit naive (almost childish) to Europe and tech?anantksundaram said:
That's funny. If I were you, I'd be far more worried about why the EU is incapable of producing an Apple, or a Google, or a Facebook, or an Amazon, or an EBay, or a Netflix, or a Tesla, or an Uber, or a SpaceX (notwithstanding yesterday's unfortunate event), or heck, the remote semblance of a Silicon Valley. Even China (admittedly by blatant copying, usually) has been able to.Capriguy said:
How much you pay in taxes igor? You probably owe us. Have you been in EU lately? If not for Apple Nokia be the most powerful mobile company in the world. Nokia had the best phones ever, and now it's unfair that Nokia can't make iPhone destroyer due to this tax deal.igorsky said:
I initially thought you were joking and thought this was hilarious. Then I read your previous post and realized that you might be crazy...please clarify.Capriguy said:No matter what Ireland wants they must comply with what we say.
Do you wonder if there's something wrong with you folks across the pond? Why do you consume so many of America's products and services on these types innovations, and not produce your own?

And, not unexpectedly, the EU Commission gives her a reprimande within a day. But she's right.anantksundaram said:The former EU Commissioner -- Neelie Kroes, who was no great friend of multinational corporations avoiding taxes -- is lambasting this EU decision and report. In The Guardian, no less. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/sep/01/eu-state-aid-tax-avoidance-apple
Worth a read, especially if you live, or do business, in the EU.
