Apple’s other tax issue needs scrutiny too

Phone giant Apple and tax will likely loom large next year, but not in a way that some might suspect.

The arguments over illegal state-aid and the €13bn in back taxes which the EU’s Margrethe Vestager ruled that phone giant Apple owes this State will, thankfully, start to grind through European courts.

The drawn-out legal appeals process will provide some sort of relief from the public relations flack put up by the principal players which included a lot of the faux outrage over the Brussels’ ruling from the Government and Apple.
