According to foreign media reports on September 11, the EU Supreme Court issued a final ruling that Ireland needs to recover 13 billion euros (about 102.5 billion yuan) in taxes from Apple and believes that Ireland has provided illegal tax relief to Apple for the past 20 years.

The tax case against Apple is part of Margaretha Vestager, the EU antitrust commissioner's, efforts to combat transactions between multinational corporations and EU countries.

Vestager previously stated that ensuring that all companies, large and small, pay their fair share of taxes remains a top priority for the Commission.

The relevant person in charge issued a statement saying, "Today is a great victory for European citizens and tax justice. The European Commission will continue to work on harmful tax competition and aggressive tax planning."

This ruling marks a victory for competition regulators, and the ruling of the EU Supreme Court is final, meaning Apple cannot appeal again.

These decisions also highlight the EU's tough stance on large technology companies, which has expanded in recent years to include comprehensive regulations to curb the expansion of large technology companies.

Earlier this year, the European Commission imposed an antitrust fine of 1.8 billion euros on Apple for abusing its dominant position in the distribution market for music streaming apps.

Regarding the EU's tough stance, many Chinese users have also expressed their hope for strict punishment against Apple, whose 30% Apple tax leads the world and has seriously violated users' rights and interests.

According to sources, Apple and Tencent are still discussing the issue of Apple tax collection, and there have been rumors that negotiations between the two parties have been unsuccessful, and iPhone and WeChat users need to choose one or the other.
