<p>Tim Cook has posted an open letter on Apple.com (http://www.apple.com/ie/customer-letter/) for customers, in response to the European judgement that Ireland must recover 13 billion euros (https://9to5mac.com/2016/08/30/eu-regulators-order-ireland-to-recover-13-billion-euros-in-illegal-irish-tax-benefits-from-apple/) in tax revenue from Apple, covering the period 2003-2014. In the public posting (http://www.apple.com/ie/customer-letter/), Cook lambasts the judgement as having serious consequences on European business. It says the ruling suggests Apple received a special deal on our taxes which has “no basis in fact or in law”. Cook says Apple is being compelled to pay back taxes to a government that states Apple does not owe any additional money.</p>
