The US Intervenes in the Apple Tax Case

The US Intervenes in the Apple Tax Case

In April 2017, the US filed an application in the Luxembourg-based General Court against the European Commission (or EC). The EC demanded more than $15.0 billion in unpaid taxes from Apple (AAPL) to be paid to Ireland’s government. According to Reuters, the Obama administration criticized the European Union’s decision, as the move would lead to Apple paying a hefty tax obligation to Ireland that would have otherwise gone to the US government.
