Irish Examiner View: Good business

€13bn Apple tax ruling

The General Court of the European Union (GCEU) yesterday annulled the decision taken by the European Commission regarding the Irish tax rulings in favour of Apple.

THE decision by the General Court of the European Union (GCEU) to annul the verdict of the Commission regarding the Irish tax rulings in favour of Apple will come as a relief to the Irish Government and the IDA, helping to preserve Ireland’s status for foreign direct investors.

It also supports Apple’s view that the issue at heart was not how much Apple paid, but where they were required to pay it.
