Njengoba iningi lenu lazi, ngoba sesivele sisebenzelana nalolu daba kwezinye izikhathi, i-Apple inohlobo lobudlelwano bentela obunobungani ngokweqile e-Ireland, izwe okuyisisekelo sayo yonke imisebenzi yalo eYurophu. Kodwa-ke, ngo-2014 i-European Union nezinhlaka zayo zibeke lobo budlelwano "obuyingqayizivele" phakathi kwe-Apple nezwe okukhulunywa ngalo, ngoba ngokwedatha yezimali, i-Apple yenza kabi kakhulu kwamanye amazwe e-Union European Ezomnotho. Impela, abezindaba abaningi abanomxholo wezomnotho baqala ukunanela unswinyo okungenzeka ukuthi i-Apple izoluthola ngenxa yalo mkhuba wokukopela okwenzeka e-Ireland.
Maphakathi Izikhathi Zezezimali imizamo yokufingqa ukuthi isinqumo se-European Commission esiphethe ukuqinisekisa ukuthi lolu daba selusondele ekukhishweni, njengoba sekusondele ukuthi sikhishwe kude nokuthi sithandeke ku-Apple. Ekugcineni, inkampani yaseCupertino kufanele ilungiselele ukubhekana nenselelo yezomnotho neyezimali yesikhathi esizayo. Kungenzeka Into ekhathaza kakhulu uTim Cook ukuthi uzophatha kanjani inethiwekhi yebhizinisi lakwa-Apple eYurophu kusukela manje, noma okungenani ngemuva kokuthi iKhomishini yaseYurophu iqede ukuncibilikisa wonke u-ayisikhilimu.
Isinqumo esiphikisayo se-Apple silindelwe yiKhomishini yaseYurophu. Khonamanjalo, i-United States of America nayo ihlela amakhomishini ophenyo angaba khona. I-European Union iyisikhulu esiphezulu sentela, esilungele ukushintsha imithetho yalo mdlalo ukuze izinkampani ezinjenge-Apple zingasebenzisi amathuba okuxegiselwa.
Lesi esinye sezizathu zokuba khona kwe-European Union, zombili ukwenza lula lolu hlobo lokuthengiselana phakathi komphakathi kanye nokufika kwenhlokodolobha yamazwe omhlaba, kanye okwesabisa ukunyakaza okungenzeka kube nokukhwabanisa okonakalisa ukuvela kwemvelo kwemakethe.
Sichaza ukuthi ikuphi iqhinga, i-Apple idyll e-Ireland
UMargrethe Vestager uyinhloko yale khomishini ezinze eBrussels ebiphenya i-Apple selokhu baxwayisa ngempatho yayo ekhethekile e-Ireland, ngokusungulwa kwezintandokazi ezithile kwisisekelo somthetho uqobo. Okungenani lowo kwakuwumbiko wokuqala abawuthola ngo-2014.
IKhomishini isola i-Apple ngokonga ngaphezu kwama- $ 10.000.000.000 billion ($ XNUMX) idlulisa imali ivela endlunkulu yayo emazweni angamalungu e-EU iye e-Ireland. Kuleli qophelo yilapho sizibuza khona "Ngani?", sizokwenza ukuzivocavoca eMthethweni Wezezimali. Kumele sikhumbule ukuthi e-European Union sinezinto ezaziwa ngokuthi "ukuhamba ngokukhululeka kwabantu kanye nenhlokodolobha", ngakho-ke, kulula ukuphatha imali usuka eSpain usiyise eJalimane, njengoba kulula ukuhambela umuntu obhekwa njenge Isakhamuzi saseYurophu. Ukuphi ukubamba lapho? Kulula, amazwe amaningi e-European Union anentela efanayo yalolu hlobo lomsebenzi, noma angaphansi kwezincomo ze-TTII, noma kunjalo, esifundazweni sase-Ireland i-Apple ithokozela isilinganiso esiphansi kakhulu esingu-2%, 10,5% ngaphansi kwentela yebhizinisi neyezinkampani kuthinta lonke i-Ireland.
Ngale ndlela i-Apple iguqula imakethe, imemezele ukulahleka ngokoqobo eSpain, ngenkathi e-Ireland imemezela inzuzo ephezulu kakhulu, lapho kulula kakhulu ukwenza leyo nzuzo ibe yinto ejwayelekile, ngoba kuzodingeka bakhokhe u-2% kuphela ngomqondo wentela yebhizinisi / yebhizinisi ngokuya ngemithetho yamanje kazwelonke. Le yindlela i-Apple ekwazile ngayo ukwenza ngokungalingani ngokulinganisela amadola ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyishumi.
Kodwa-ke, akuyona inkampani yokuqala ukusizakala ngalolu hlobo lwamaqhinga, amanye amazwe, ngenxa yezinkinga zezomnotho ezihambisana nale nkinga, anquma ukuheha utshalomali lwangaphandle ngenhloso yokuthola izinzuzo zentela ngaphandle komncintiswano, njengokungathi ivela enkampanini yocingo enikezela amanani ancishisiwe azobandakanyeka. I-Apple bese ijoyina izwe lapho sithola i-ephemeris efana ne-Google, i-Amazon, i-IKEA kanye ne-Starbucks. Siyethemba ukuthi le ncazelo, eyenziwe yaba lula ukukhathala (akunasidingo sokusho, ubuchwepheshe abukho futhi amagama athile awazange acaciswe ngokweqile ukwenza kube lula ukufundwa nokuqondwa) kukusizile ukuthi uqonde ins kanye nemigwaqo walo msebenzi osanda kulimaza emakethe yaseYurophu ngokujwayelekile.
