Exactly what I thought. If he bought 100 apps a month, that's more than three a day by the way, it'd still only be an extra tenner.

Apple paid less than 2% Tax on foreign profits

For all those hard working apple fans slaving away, paying income tax andUSC (universal social charge for those non-Irish) to pay for their shiny new toys like the iPhone 5 read and weep about how little tax the most wealthiest company in technology pays.

By using a method called the Double Irish combined with a Dutch Sandwich.

Gotta love those accounting terms.

Anyway stop your bitching about 10c extra on Apps and pay up guys.

To be fair and balanced Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Dell also do it.
It’s just that Apple is the most successful and by far the most hypocritical.

Are they by far the most hypocritical because they are also united in some lobby groups to increase corporate tax, or do you not understand what hypocritical means, as well as not really getting thread titles?

And whats with the BIG TEXT?
