Apple ECJ tax ruling

Today, following the ruling by the European Court of Justice on the case of Apple’s tax practices in Ireland, Kira Peter-Hansen MEP, Greens/EFA First Vice Chair of the of the FISC Committee, comments: 

“This ruling is a landmark victory for the tax justice, which shows that member states cannot continue the race to the bottom corporate tax policies that undermine European unity and social cohesion. Big tech companies like Apple should not be able to exploit their market power and avoid paying their fair share to society. Now we need to further harmonise tax rules in the EU to end tax abuse by multinationals, especially big tech.”
