Oh yeah, and using the same laws to avoid taxes that your butt buddies

The difference being that Apple, reportedly, paid about 2.5% of all
corporate US taxes in 2012 and that Apple is proactively working to get the
rules changed so that neither they or other companies can play these games
(though I am not so na�ve as to think Apple will not work to make sure they
pay as little as they can... that is what pretty much all people and
corporations do!)

I think they are all a bunch of clowns. If you don't, you aren't paying
attention.

 Apple Operations International has not filed a tax return in Ireland,
 the United States or any other country over the last five years.
 
 It had income of $30 billion between 2009 and 2012.
 By shuttling revenue between international subsidiaries,
 Apple was able largely to sidestep paying taxes,
 Congressional investigators said.  ＞＞

Funny how they paid $6 Billion in US taxes last year... more than any other
company and reportedly about 2.5% of all corporate taxes.

Meanwhile, most experts have *never seen* the likes of Apple's tax
evasion.

"Even as Apple became the nation’s most profitable technology company,
it avoided billions in taxes in the United States and around the world
through a web of subsidiaries so complex it spanned continents and
went beyond anything most experts had ever seen, Congressional
investigators disclosed on Monday."

Unfortunately, when the same techniques are being employed by MS, HP,
Google, Facebook, etc, etc, etc - - it actually isn't particularly
"spectacular", but merely "business as usual" for a multinational.

As such, the only thing that this "spectacular" claim really does is
to illustrate how naïve the OP is.

For example, individual US residents can be eligible for the 'Foreign
Earned Income Exclusion" of up to $95,100 per year (2012). Here's the
short form:

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f2555ez.pdf

YMMV if a $95K deduction off chrisv's income counts as "spectacular"
or not. Regardless, it is entirely legal and has been part of the
existing tax code for years, available to all US citizens.

form *all by himself*! ;-)

Yeah, the central banks that use the IRS as their collection agency
wants a cut of the action of Apple similar to gangland mafia.
Otherwise, some of them will be wearing concrete sneakers.
See the picture now?

The Irish were too drunk to audit Apple, that's how they got away with it.

As a CPA, I help clients do the exact same thing, including keeping net
revenue overseas.
I helped save one client (currency broker) $275,000 by keeping their EU
division's NR in Italy; even though the office was in the UK.
