How Apple Uses the Irish Tax Structure

In this debut episode of The Tax Strategy Podcast, Lucas and Luna unpack the famous Irish tax structure that helped Apple legally pay a single-digit effective tax rate on billions in profits for years. They trace how the Double Irish and Dutch Sandwich arrangements worked, why the European Commission ordered Apple to pay €13 billion in back taxes, and what changed in 2024 that finally shut the loophole. The conversation uses Apple as a concrete case to show how multinational tax avoidance is engineered, what the OECD's global minimum tax deal means for companies like Apple, and why the tax strategy landscape is shifting under everyone's feet. Listeners come away with a clear understanding of one of the most audacious and legal tax strategies in modern business history—plus a sense of what this show will do every week: take one real-world tax story, drill into the numbers and rules, and make it make sense. #Apple #IrishTaxStructure #DoubleIrish #DutchSandwich #TaxAvoidance #MultinationalTax #OECD #GlobalMinimumTax #EuropeanCommission #BackTaxes #TaxStrategy #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TaxPodcast #CorporateTax #TaxLoophole #EffectiveTaxRate Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
