Apple and Ireland win EU court appeal over back taxes | DW News

The Irish government and Apple has won its appeal against a 2016 EU decision that said Apple had to pay the Irish government 13 billion euros in back taxes - money that Ireland didn't even want. So Ireland took the case to Europe's second highest court. Dublin has long denied that its tax arrangements with Apple amount to illegal state aid. The European Commission is expected to appeal the ruling to the European Court of Justice.
