We are actually talking about an estimated price in the 4.170 million and these figures include the buildings and the enormous expanse of Apple Park. In this case, the buildings and land have a value of about $ 3.600 billion and the place where it is located, Santa Clara County, is one of the most expensive in the world.
At Apple they are constantly struggling with the taxes they pay all over the world and among them are added the rates they have to assume in their city. These fees add up to a total of $ 41,7 million annually, which is undoubtedly a huge cost that Apple has to face.
Taxes serve to improve the quality of life in cities
And it is that according to 9to5Mac, all these taxes that Apple pays in Cupertino for Apple Park only, are distributed in a linear way in the services, 25% to the public school, 15% to the fire department and 5% of the total that are about 2,09 million dollars to the city council itself. In addition, Apple paid about 75 million dollars to the city council itself to improve the infrastructure of the city.
Ultimately we have to be realistic and these prices are high for any company but may seem few for a company like Apple that generates billions a year. The problem is that they do not always generate so much money and having to pay these taxes even when you do not have enough income is an obligation, so Apple is trying to eliminate valuations to pay less taxes. Some claim that they pay little, others that they pay a lot, in any case the figures are only available to a company like Apple.
