Technology giant Apple has been defending itself against accusations1 that it's been avoiding tax. The US Senate report found the company has avoided paying tens of billions of dollars in tax by spreading its accounts over a complex network of subsidiaries. Apple's Chief Executive Tim Cook has strenuously2 denied the claims during a Senate committee hearing.
"We pay all the taxes we owe, every single dollar. We not only comply with the laws, but we comply with the spirit of the laws. We don't depend on tax
gimmicks3. We don't move in a electoral property
offshore4 and use it to sell our products back to the United States to avoid taxes. We don't
stash5 money on some Caribbean island.“
