From the news portal Bloomberg They have taken very seriously the possible fine that from Europe could reach the Cupertino boys, and they have brought out their mathematical skills to make an approximate calculation of how much Apple has been able to defraud in Europe in tax evasion. The result has been chilling, nothing less than 8.000 million euros is what the total fine that Apple would be forced to pay could amount to. It's really not that great when you consider Apple's profits from 2004 to 2014, but it's a tweak that can hurt anyone.
According to the parameters analyzed, the European Commission could punish Apple for its tax evasion practices, imposing on the US firm the payment of a fine that would reach up to 8.000 million dollars in taxes owed. This fine would refer to those taxes pending payment between 2004 and 2012 in the European countries involved. The controversy regarding what Apple bills in countries like Spain and what it really pays in taxes here has always been the order of the day, and it is that the tax framework that Apple has in Ireland is worthy of study.
The European Commission will deliver its verdict in the coming months, but what we ask ourselves from here is how they never realized it before. It was something that always It has been the result of conversations in the economic sphere, the way in which Apple handled its taxes in the United States and Europe, obviously advised by some of the "best" economists and lawyers in the world, he was on his way to and to pay less. At the end of the day, it is what all companies want, to pay as little as possible, but you always have to adhere to the legal framework, a framework that Apple seems to have exceeded by no less than 8.000 million dollars.
