  • Apple CEO Tim Cook calls EU tax ruling 'total political crap,' cites potential anti-US sentiment

    Tim, so sad to listen these words from you, the CEO of the company like Apple. Your words are a complete lack of respect for the Europeans like me who pay the taxes we owe even when we hardly make ends meet.

    Ireland has the right to charge any tax rate it wishes. 
    Ireland has the right to make certain corporations exempt from taxes. (exa. hospitals, foreign corps and charity organizations)
    Ireland has the right to lower taxable profits for certain products or services. (exa. software products)

    These are the rights of a SOVEREIGN STATE.

    The EU has no right to decide what kind of tax policy Ireland uses. 
    The only enforcement power the EU has is if a specific company can break Irish tax laws while other companies can't. 
    Apple has not broken a SINGLE IRISH TAX LAW. That means any other company could have done the EXACT same things Apple had done and achieve the same lower tax rate.

    This decision by the EU is saying that Ireland no longer has the SOVEREIGN right to decide what taxes they can charge.  This is madness. The EU is and was never suppose to be the ULTIMATE TAXING AUTHORITY of Europe. Its absolutely ridiculous. 

    A big BS!  As a member of EU HAS TO FOLLOW THE EUROPEAN RULES!  If you don't like it LEAVE EUROPE!  

    I am european when it is good for me but for the rest I do what I want. Simple. BREXIT!

    I am very happy for this news. As a European citizen is a Shame the Ireland behavior for getting companies HQ and money vs. the rest of EU countries.

    For me the point is that we had a standard with rather good quality, specs, size, etc and what's the deal for changing it? Water resistant, really? Thickness, really? (With the horrible camera hump)

    You have to find and redeem the code via the 'Apple Store' app, not the 'App Store' - that threw me at first.
