According to a top Irish official, Apple has agreed to to pay Ireland around $15.4 billion in back taxes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have now reached agreement with Apple in relation to the principles and operation of the escrow fund,\u201d Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe told reporters before a meeting with European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, per Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

"We expect the money will begin to be transmitted into the account from Apple across the first quarter of next year."<\/p>\n

Ireland was formally referred<\/a> to the European Court of Justice after it failed<\/a> to implement a 2016 order that required the island nation to collect the same amount in unpaid taxes.<\/p>\n

Over a year ago, as Ars reported<\/a>, the EU\u2019s competition chief Margrethe Vestager said that a two-year investigation into so-called sweetheart tax deals in 1991 and 2007 had found Apple guilty of receiving illegal state aid from the Emerald Isle. The deal had allowed Apple to pay an effective corporate tax rate of one percent on its European profits in 2003, down to as low as 0.005 percent in certain years, according to Vestager.<\/p>\n

Apple has denied any wrongdoing and has also said that it received no \u201cspecial deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a dedicated team working diligently and expeditiously with Ireland on the process the European Commission has mandated,\u201d Apple said in a Monday statement<\/a> according to UPI. \u201cWe remain confident the General Court of the EU will overturn the Commission\u2019s decision once it has reviewed all the evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Apple and Ireland have challenged<\/a> the EU\u2019s court order.<\/p>\n

Apple did not immediately respond to Ars\u2019 request for comment.<\/p>\n
