IPhone group: Apple specifies tax payments in Germany and Europe
Apple is revealing for the first time how much profit and taxes it generates in Germany and Europe. What the new report reveals about the company.
Apple has disclosed its profits and taxes paid in individual EU member states for the first time under new transparency rules. In Germany, the company reported a pre-tax profit of $209 million and paid $153.5 million in taxes, with a total revenue of $2.72 billion and 4,089 employees nationwide. Apple's Irish operations paid $17.08 billion in taxes, which the company attributed to the resolution of a EU Commission decision and a European Court of Justice ruling related to tax benefits in Ireland.
The company said it is "proud of the contributions we make to the countries and societies where we operate" and that it is one of the world's largest taxpayers.
