欧盟裁定苹果需补缴130欧元税款

The figure of €13bn plus interest is 40 times the previous record for such a case and the equivalent of the annual budget for Ireland’s health service. Irish campaigners called for the windfall to be invested in public housing.

130亿欧元再加上利息，补税额已达此前同类裁决中最高金额的40倍，与爱尔兰公共医疗卫生服务的年度预算相当。爱尔兰的活动家们号召将这笔“意外之财”用于公共住房项目。

The taxable profits of Apple Sales International and Apple Operations Europe did not correspond to economic reality, the commission said.

欧盟委员会称，苹果国际销售公司和苹果欧洲运营公司的应纳税利润与其实际盈利不符。

Vestager said: “The commission’s investigation concluded that Ireland granted illegal tax benefits to Apple, which enabled it to pay substantially less tax than other businesses over many years.”

维斯塔格说：“委员会的调查发现，爱尔兰给予苹果公司的非法税收优惠，使苹果多年来比其他公司少缴纳了许多税金。”

Vestager suggested other countries, including the US, might now examine how Apple did business within their borders. These other jurisdictions might then claim a share of the unpaid tax from Apple for the same period. This would reduce the bill owed to Ireland.
