I-Apple isongela iYurophu emva kwesigwebo se-EU se-13.000 yezigidi

Le yenye yezinto esingathandi ukuzifunda kakhulu ukusukela, ngaphandle kwayo yonke into, iyabenzakalisa abasebenzisi ngokuthe ngqo. I-Apple yafumana isohlwayo se-13.000 yezigidi ze-euro ngokuphepha irhafu  eIreland naseYurophu iyayinyanzela le ntshukumo. Ngoku i-CEO yenkampani yeCupertino iphendula ngeleta ethe ngqo kwi-European Union ngeSpanish esifanelekileyo kwaye apho sinokufunda khona izinto ezinje: «Ukutyhubela iminyaka sifumene ingcebiso kwabasemagunyeni kwirhafu yaseIreland ngendlela yokuhambelana ngokufanelekileyo nomthetho werhafu waseIreland. E-Ireland nakuwo onke amazwe esisebenza kuwo, iApple iyahambelana nomthetho kwaye ihlawula zonke iirhafu ezifunekayo.  

Le yileta epheleleyo echaza okwenzekileyo kunye noko kusongela ukutyala imali encinci kunye nabasebenzi abambalwa eYurophu kwimeko apho ingxaki ingasombululekanga kwaye kuya kufuneka uhlawule isixa semali.

Iminyaka engama-36 eyadlulayo, kwakude kudala ngaphambi kokuba i-iPhone, i-iPod, okanye iMac ikhutshwe, USteve Jobs waseka imisebenzi yokuqala ka-Apple eYurophu. Ngelo xesha inkampani yayisele isazi ukuba ukukhonza abathengi bayo baseYurophu kwakufuneka isiseko apho. Ke, ngo-Okthobha u-1980, u-Apple wavula umzi-mveliso eCork (eIreland) onabasebenzi abangama-60.

Ngaloo minyaka iCork yafumana ubunzima bokungabikho kwemisebenzi kunye nomthamo ophantsi kakhulu wotyalo-mali kwezoqoqosho. Nangona kunjalo, abaphathi be-Apple babone indawo etyebile ngetalente, ekwaziyo ukukhula kunye nenkampani ukuba iphumelele impumelelo ebinethemba layo.

Ukusukela ngoko Siqhubekile sasebenza singayeki eCorknkqu nangamaxesha okungaqiniseki kwenkampani yethu, kwaye namhlanje siqesha phantse abantu abangama-6.000 e-Ireland iphela. Uninzi lwazo luseCork, kubandakanya nabanye babasebenzi bethu bokuqala, bezalisekisa imisebenzi eyahlukeneyo njengenxalenye yeprojekthi ka-Apple yehlabathi. Iinkampani ezininzi zamazwe ngamazwe zilandele umzekelo wethu ngokutyala imali eKork, namhlanje enandipha uqoqosho lwengingqi oluchumileyo kunakuqala.

Impumelelo evuselele ukukhula kuka-Apple kwiCork ivela kwiimveliso ezintsha ezonwabisa abathengi bethu. Le mpumelelo isincedile ekudaleni nasekugcineni imisebenzi engaphezulu kwesigidi esi-XNUMX kwiYurophu iphela.-Abasebenzi be-Apple, amakhulu amawaka abaphuhlisi beapps abenza konke okusemandleni abo kwiVenkile ye App, kunye neminye imisebenzi phakathi kwabavelisi kunye nabathengisi bethu. Amashishini amancinci amaninzi naphakathi aphakathi axhomekeke kuApple, kwaye siyazingca ngokuba banokuthembela kuthi.

Njengabemi kunye namalungu eshishini elinoxanduva, sikwazingca ngegalelo lethu kuqoqosho lwasekhaya eYurophu nakuluntu kwihlabathi liphela. Ukukhula kwethu kule minyaka idlulileyo kusenze saba ngoyena mhlawuli rhafu mkhulu I-Ireland, owona rhafi mkhulu e-United States kunye nomrhafi werhafu omkhulu emhlabeni.

Ngalo lonke elixesha sifumene ingcebiso kwabasemagunyeni kwirhafu yaseIreland ukuba bathobele ngokuchanekileyo imimiselo yabo yetax, uhlobo olufanayo lweengcebiso ezifunyanwa nayiphina inkampani ekhoyo kweli lizwe. I-Apple iyahambelana nomthetho kwaye sihlawula zonke iirhafu esikutyala zona, eIreland nakuwo onke amazwe esisebenza kuwo.

IKhomishini yaseYurophu isungule iphulo lokuphinda ibhale imbali ye-Apple eYurophu, ingahoyi imithetho yerhafu yase-Ireland kwaye kwinkqubo itshintshe ngokupheleleyo inkqubo yerhafu yamanye amazwe. Uluvo olukhutshwe nge-30 ka-Agasti lubanga ukuba iIreland yanika iApple unyango lwerhafu. Eli bango alisekelwanga kwinyani okanye kumthetho. Asikhe sicele kwaye asifumani naluphi na uhlobo lonyango olukhethekileyo. Ngoku sizifumana sikwiimeko ezikhethekileyo zokufunwa ukuba sihlawule irhafu eyongezelelweyo kurhulumente obanga ukuba asimtyali nto ngaphezu kwale sele siyihlawule.

Uluvo lweKhomishini aluzange lubekho ngaphambili kwaye iimpembelelo zalo zinobuzaza kwaye zifikelela kude. Eyona nto ayicebisayo kukuba ithathe indawo yemithetho yerhafu yase-Ireland ngenye inguqulelo, ecinga ukuba bekufanele ukuba ibiyiyo. Oku kuya kuba sisibetho esibuhlungu kubukhosi bamazwe angamalungu e-European Union malunga nemicimbi yabo yezemali kunye nomgaqo wokuqiniseka kolawulo olusemthethweni eYurophu. I-Ireland ibhengeze ukuba inomdla wokubhena kwisigqibo seKhomishini kwaye i-Apple iyakwenza okufanayo. Siyathemba ukuba umyalelo weKhomishini uza kuphelelwa.

Eyona nto iphambili kuyo, ityala elivezwe yiKhomishini ayisiyonto ingako malunga nokuhlawulwa kwe-Apple kwirhafu, kodwa ngorhulumente oqokelela loo mali.

Ukurhafiswa kweenkampani zamazwe ngamazwe ngumba ontsonkothileyo, kodwa kukho umgaqo owamkelweyo kwilizwe liphela: iinzuzo zenkampani kufuneka zirhafelisiwe kwilizwe apho zenza khona ixabiso lazo. I-Apple, i-Ireland kunye ne-United States ziyavumelana ngale nto.

Kwimeko yeApple, phantse lonke uphando lwethu kunye nophuhliso lwenzeka eCalifornia, ke uninzi lweenzuzo zethu zirhafiswa eMelika. Iinkampani zaseYurophu ezenza ishishini eMelika zihlawula irhafu ngokweenqobo ezifanayo. Nangona kunjalo, ngoku iKhomishini ifuna ukutshintsha imigaqo ibuyiselwe emva.

Isigqibo ngokucacileyo sigxile kwi-AppleKodwa ezona mpembelelo zinzulu nezonakalisayo ziya kubonakala kutyalo-mali kunye nokudala imisebenzi eYurophu. Ukuba ithiyori yeKhomishini ibinokwenziwa, zonke iinkampani eIreland naseYurophu iphela zingabeka umngcipheko wokurhafiswa yimithetho engazange ibekho.

I-Apple kudala ixhasa uhlengahlengiso lwerhafu ngeenjongo ezimbini: ukulula kunye nokucaca. Siyakholelwa ukuba olu tshintsho kufuneka luvele kwinkqubo efanelekileyo yowiso-mthetho, ukuthathela ingqalelo kwizindululo zayo ilizwi leenkokheli kunye nabemi bamazwe achaphazelekayo. Kwaye njengawo nawuphi na omnye umthetho, imigaqo emitsha kufuneka isebenze ukusukela ngoku, hayi ukubuyela umva.

Sizimisele eIreland kwaye sizimisele ukuqhubeka nokutyala imali apho, sikhulisa kwaye sikhonza abathengi bethu ngokuzimisela nangokuzinikela ngendlela efanayo. Sikholelwa ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba iinyani kunye nemithetho yezomthetho eyasekwa phezu kwayo i-European Union iyakuhlala kunjalo.
