Beware the EU's smash and grab tax raid on Apple.
Apple was not sharing tax, but avoiding it via mechanisms set up with the cooperation of the Irish government.
In the event Apple's appeal fails, the EU will set it's sights on other pots of gold.
It is after all easier to milk people and companies dry, rather than reform itself and cut back its bloated budgets!

Irresespective of the rights or wrongs in this case, if a company, or companies for that matter, have made an agreement with legitimate governments, that should be between themselves, and third parties should keep their noses out of things!

ReplyDeleteIt's actually hard to pick out who is the worst cuplrit here, but it's not the EU.
