Among the excellent names stand out those of Nike, Goldman Sachs the pharmaceutical company Pfizer and many others
This time, let's say it bluntly, the primacy is not the one to be really proud of:Apple, according to a study that was reported today by the Daily Mail, is the largest tax evader in the United States. But that's not the only sensational fact of the story.
65 BILLION DOLLARS OF UNPAID TAXES IN THE US BY APPLE
Cupertino has generated profits outside theUSA, in 2015 alone, for $218.55 billion. Despite the considerable sum, thanks to the venues in Ireland (which then led to the maxi-fine of theEuropean Union of 13 billion euros) and a rather complex accounting system, Apple it saved more than $65 billion in taxes at home. A huge amount.
3 OUT OF 4 MULTINATIONALS USE THE SAME SYSTEMS
The study reports that 3 out of 4 multinationals in the Fortune 500 ranking use the same techniques, mainly based on foreign subsidiaries in countries with very low tax burdens, such as Ireland. Among the excellent names stand out those of Nike, Goldman Sachs, the pharmaceutical company Pfizer and many others. We'll see if there will be a response from Apple in the next few hours.
