Apple’s Response

Xiao Huang:DOORM, how did Apple respond to the EU’s ruling? What is their stance on this decision?

DOORM:Apple expressed strong dissatisfaction with the EU’s ruling. They believe that the EU is unfairly and retroactively penalizing their legitimate business practices and emphasized that their tax arrangements are legal and compliant. However, the EU court did not accept Apple’s defense and insisted that Apple must pay the back taxes.
