Asizukuba yindawo ekuphela kwayo engathethiyo ngeTrump kule mva kaNovemba ibandayo. Kwaye kukuba njengoko besiphawulile ngamanye amaxesha, uDonald Trump, umongameli wexesha elizayo wase-United States of America, ugxeke kakhulu kwizicwangciso zokwenza inkampani ye-Cupertino. Konke oku ngaphandle kwenyani yokuba iApple yenye yeenkampani ezihlawulelwa irhafu kakhulu, hayi kwinqanaba eliphakathi kuphela, kodwa nakwinqanaba likarhulumente nakwingingqi, eMelika. Imeko efanayo ayikho eYurophu, apho iApple ibandakanyeke kwimpikiswano eqinileyo malunga neendlela zayo zokuphepha ukuhlawula irhafu eIreland. Siza kwenza uphononongo olufutshane malunga nokunyanzeliswa kwerhafu kukaDonald Trump kunye nosongelo lwakhe kuApple ngokukodwa.
Ngapha koko, uDonald Trump wade wacela ukuba boyisiwe kwiimveliso zeapile, nangona esenza njalo kwiakhawunti yakhe ye-Twitter nange-iPhone (uhanahaniso lwezopolitiko). Nangona kunjalo, kubonakala ngathi ayizizo zonke izinto eziza kuba yintlekele, I-tycoon yayikhankasele inkqubo yokubuyisela inzuzo kwilizwe langaphandle ngerhafu ephantsi ngokwenene.
Le yinto u-Apple ebesele eyicelile ukuba isebenze ngamanye amaxesha, uhlengahlengiso lwerhafu oluya kuvumela ukubuyiselwa kwemali eyinkunzi ngaphandle kokuthatha impembelelo enkulu yezemali, ngale ndlela, ukuhamba kwemali okushiya eUnited States, kungabuya kungekudala ukuya kwindawo yokuqala. Yiyo kanye le nto ithenjiswe nguDonald Trump kwi Iklabhu yezoQoqosho yaseNew York Okthobha ophelileyo. Nantsi indlela umakhulu kunye neenwele ezimhlophe ezimhlophe ezibekwe ngayo:
Sinobutyebi obuninzi obumiyo phesheya, asazi ukuba (…) abanye bacinga ukuba kumalunga nezigidi ezintlanu zeerandi. Siza kubuyisa obo butyebi e-United States, kuba siza kuburekhoda yi-10% kuphela, Ukuphelisa iipesenti ezingama-35 zangaphambili zokubuyiselwa kwemali eyinkunzi. Kucacile ukuba akukho mntu unokufuna ukuyizisa xa kufuneka ehlawule iirhafu ezingama-35%, phofu akukho mntu uyenzayo (…) Ukurhafisa nge-10% kuba yeyona ndlela inomtsalane kwaye imali izakubuyela kweli lizwe ngokulula.
Ixabisa malini iApple phesheya?
Kwingxelo yezoqoqosho yamva nje, uApple uxele ukuba unemali ebekelwe imali ezixabisa i-237.000 yezigidigidi, uninzi lwayo luphesheya. Ngapha koko, kwangoko nge-2013, i-CEO yangoku yenkampani yeCupertino, UTim Cook ulumkise ngelithi ireyithi ye-35% igqithile kwaye ayenzi ukubuyiselwa kwezi mali zinomtsalane.
Namhlanje, ukuba ufuna ukuzisa imali yakho e-United States of America, ulahlekelwa ngokuzenzekelayo yi-35% yalo lonke ixabiso layo. Leyo yirhafu ephezulu kakhulu. Ewe asicebisi ukuba irhafu mayipheliswe, kodwa sicebisa ukuba yehliswe iye kumanqanaba afanelekileyo, ngaphandle kwento abaninzi oogxa bam abayicingayo.
Inkqubo yokubaleka kwirhafu ka-Apple eYurophu
Njengoko usazi kakuhle, iApple ihamba ngexesha elinoburharha, yiyo loo nto iKhomishini yaseYurophu ilumkise iIreland ukuba kufuneka ibambe yonke irhafu ilizwe elingayihoyanga kwinkampani yeCupertino kule nto Unyango olucacileyo noluvumayo ukuba iApple iyakuseka "inkampu" apho njengomnyango ovulekileyo kuyo yonke iManyano yaseYurophu. Yiyo ke loo nto ibangela ukunqongophala kokuhamba kwemali okungazange kubonakale ngathi kufikile, kwaye leyo yeyona nto ifunyenwe yiIreland ngeApple yimisebenzi, kuba inqanaba lerhafu elalifunyenwe lalilelokungcikiva kunelokufunyanwa zezinye iinkampani ezisekwe ngeenxa zonke. Udibano lwaseyurophu.
Oku kubangele umbono ombi ngendlela iApple elawula ngayo ishishini layo phesheya, ngakumbi xa ujonga indawo efana neYurophu, sazi okuncinci malunga neshishini lika-Apple kumazwe afana ne China okanye i-India, impikiswano iyenziwa.
