Comment: UPDATE Aug. 30, 2016: The European Commission ruled on Tuesday that "selective treatment" by Ireland allowed Apple to pay a tax rate of one percent on EU profits in 2003 down to 0.005 percent in 2014. The US company has been ordered to pay up to €13 billion to cover the unpaid tax.
Member States cannot give tax benefits to selected companies - this is illegal under EU state aid rules. The Commission's investigation concluded that Ireland granted illegal tax benefits to Apple, which enabled it to pay substantially less tax than other businesses over many years. Apple was attributing its profits to a "head office" in Cork that had no employees, premises or any economic activity, and paid almost no tax. The 130-page ruling on Apple's Irish operations was published on Tuesday following a three-year investigation.
