アップルは最も節税上手、というかアメリカで税金をもっとも納めていないと非難されている

BBCより。何時の時代にも税金逃れはあるものだ。Apple ‘among largest tax avoiders in US’ – Senate committee
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22600984
Apple has been accused of being “among America’s largest tax avoiders” by a Senate committee.
The committee said Apple had used “a complex web of offshore entities” to avoid paying billions of dollars in US income taxes.
Apple chief Tim Cook will go before the panel on Tuesday. In prepared testimony Apple said it did not use tax gimmicks.
The committee said there was no indication it had done anything illegal.
Apple has a cash stockpile of $145bn (￡95bn), but the committee said $102bn of this was held offshore.
The company says it is one of the largest taxpayers in the US, having paid $6bn in federal corporate income tax in the 2012 fiscal year.
The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations has been examining “methods employed by multinational corporations to shift profits offshore”.
米国議会の委員会からアップルは最も税金のがれをしていると責められているとのこと。
アップルは巧みに税のがれの国（オフショア）を使ってうまくやっていると責められている。
さらに調査は続けられるようだ。
