A good amount of money is what they claim from Apple in France for the taxes that they supposedly have not paid in the country by taking them directly to Ireland. For now, there is talk of an amount of 571 million dollars -which amounts to approximately 500 million euros- what Apple will have to pay in France for back taxes.
It is true that it is not something illegal and it is that Apple is not breaking any law by taking its profits to Ireland where it pays less taxes, it is simply a measure that most multinationals take to avoid paying taxes higher in the countries where they sell their products.
France's constant struggle to get them to pay taxes in the country
It is evident that Apple is not the only company that carries out this type of operation to save on tax payments and that is why in France they are fighting so that these multinationals pay taxes on what they sell in the country, a task that is quite difficult to achieve.
In the case of Apple it seems this time they are going to pay these back taxes as they count in Reuters Cupertino company sources. What they have not confirmed is the total they are going to pay, which in principle is calculated could be more than 570 million dollars. Currently the regulations of the European Union on taxes are tightening strongly in this regard and Apple may not be the only company that has to pay these delayed taxes in years or a percentage thereof in the countries of the Union.
