  "account": "Apple has reportedly reduced its tax burden by $2.7 billion this year by reporting profits through Singapore, according to the Financial Times. The US tech giant utilized the city state's tax incentives, calculating $50 billion in profits for 2026 through its Asian center. In Ireland, where Apple holds its European headquarters, the company saved $2.6 billion. Overall, Apple avoided about $5 billion in taxes, potentially owing around $33 billion if it had been taxed at the US federal rate of 21 percent. The largest Singapore subsidiary is a distribution and marketing center that sells Apple products and services overseas and develops intellectual property, according to the annual reports. Apple generated approximately $9 million in pre-tax profit per employee across its two main Singapore operations in 2024, significantly higher than in other countries where the company maintains facilities.",
