Image: SIPA USA/PA Images A JUDGEMENT WILL be delivered today in Apple and Ireland’s appeal against the European Commission’s €13 billion tax ruling.

The court will determine whether two tax rulings delivered by Revenue in 1991 and 2007 allowed Apple to funnel profits through Irish-anchored structures without paying tax in any jurisdiction. The Commission found that the two rulings had breached EU state aid rules designed to prevent individual companies from receiving favourable treatment from member state governments. As European Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager put it at the time, “Ireland had granted illegal tax benefits to Apple”.
