Tax evasion is illegal. Tax avoidance is rational. Other EU countries have the ability to lower taxes right? It’s ironic that the EU is suing Apple because Spotify doesn’t want to pay 15% to Apple, yet the same people complaining of that have no problem with Apple attempting to avoid higher costs by having a non-Irish EU headquarters.

Government taxes are a different ballgame than private company (Apple) profits. Interesting that you see them as the same thing. :/

Yeah , the Apple tax makes Apple lazy and focus on how to suck even more, also makes some rich dudes richer while government tax goes into research, schools, roads etc.

Apple tax should not exist, you should pay for what you use or have freedom to chose exactly how you can chose web hosting companies and plans.
