Apple Issues Official Statement on EU Ruling

The European Union has ruled that it expects Apple to pay $14.5 billion in back taxes, and the tech giant responded with a simple statement.

"It will have a profound and harmful effect on investment and job creation in Europe."

The message there is clear: Apple says you can have taxes or jobs, but not both.

Apple struck a legal tax deal with Ireland in 1991, and by 2015 the tech giant had created 5,000 jobs within the nation. It has another 1,000 jobs ready to be created when it opens its headquarters in Cork, Ireland.

Apple is currently the largest taxpayer in Ireland, so it has significant negotiating power as this situation unfolds.
