Apple is the largest taxpayer in the world.

I see a lot of misinformation in the comments section here.

If you pay the most tax you have implicitly paid the required amount of tax is not a good argument.

You can could response to those comments so they can be discussed or just declare them fake news if that's how you feel.

Nothing in that link addresses the EU ruling or this deal.

Ok, Apple pays the most taxes of any company in the world, and it also pays all the taxes it's legally obligated to pay.

And in the case of the Irish deal, it hugely benefited Ireland, much more than Apple.

Especially considering that Apple is also the wealthiest company. So it should be expected that they should pay (or nearly pay) the highest taxes.
