It might seem like a paradox and in some ways it is. Ireland appeals against the intervention of the Community Antitrust which last summer had asked Apple to repay 13 billion euros in unpaid taxes in Dublin.
The reason is as follows. According to the Irish, Brussels' decision would be "an interference in national sovereignty" dictated by "a mistaken understanding of how the taxation of multinationals works", reports the Irish Treasury Ministry.
We recall that this week the EU Commission should publish the details of the measure last August with which it condemned Cupertino to a record restitution.
The same American multinational, according to what was written by Reuters, would be preparing to present an appeal itself in which it will argue that the European authorities have ignored company law and the opinions of tax experts, choosing a method to maximize the penalty .
