Apple taxes. Windfall taxes. A podcast special
Manage episode 439278241 series 2892158
To the surprise of many observers, Europe's top court has told Apple it must pay Ireland €13.1 billion in back taxes.
In a case that dates back to 2016, it's partly a history lesson about dodgy practices - the double Irish and all that. Those days are long gone.
But there is also an investment lesson here, one that is not just of historical interest. The outcome of the original investment was €14.8 billion became €13.1 billion, thanks to the original purchase of negative yielding government bonds. If the disputed taxes had been parked in Apple shares, the Irish government would today be in receipt of around €100 billion. Investment decisions are always massively consequential. Where to invest the €13.1 billion now?
