Didn't down vote you, but you are quoting a biased source. Maybe Apple pays 0.005% in the EU, but since 2011, Apple's paid over $10b/ year every single year (and many years it's been higher).

This is on public record: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AAPL/apple/total-p...

> I would not say a corporate tax rate of 0.005% is high.

I'm not sure what that number comes from so I can't say, but since they paid $10b/ year for the past 9+ years, they'd have to have 2 trillion dollars in profit in a single year for that rate to be accurate.
