Apple paid Ireland $17.1 billion in taxes last year, representing around 40% of its global total, according to a company filing.
Apple said the amount paid to Ireland was "significantly higher" than income taxes accrued as it included €13 billion ($15.18 billion) in back taxes that it was ordered to pay Ireland by European Union's top court in 2024.
In September 2024, the EU’s top court upheld the European Commission’s 2016 ruling that Ireland had granted Apple unlawful tax benefits, allowing it to pay effective tax rates below 1%.
Apple paid $43.2 billion in income taxes worldwide in the fiscal year that ended in September 2025.
Apple booked $34.6 billion in pre-tax profits and $213.6 billion in revenues through its Irish operations, accounting for nearly a quarter of its global pre-tax profits.$TRUMP $ENA
