Sure, but not sure how that’s relevant to my point that Apple does not actually move US profits offshore. The major controversies around Apple’s tax practices are from:

1. Apple not paying US tax rates on products sold outside of the US because that money is kept offshore instead of being repatriated, and

2. Apple paying low Irish tax rates on products sold outside the US instead of the specific tax rate of the country where the product was sold.

(1) I don’t find all that controversial because they would technically owe US taxes on the money if it was ever brought home, but (2) is understandably more controversial. Nonetheless given that Apple won their appeal against the European Commission it might not actually be illegal under EU law to do what they did.
