Apple paid 40% of its global taxes to Ireland in last fiscal year

Apple paid Ireland $17.1 billion in taxes last year, ‌representing around 40% of its worldwide ‌total, according to a company filing that detailed ​the iPhone maker's global tax liabilities country-by-country. Apple said the amount paid to Ireland was "significantly higher" than income taxes accrued as ‌it included €13 billion ($15.18 ⁠billion) in back taxes that it was ordered to pay ⁠Ireland by European Union's top court in 2024. Ireland fought the EU back-tax bill alongside ​Apple for ​eight years, ​seeking to defend its ‌position as the location of choice for U.S. multinationals in Europe - and the billions of euros in direct and indirect taxes they bring in each year.
