The Irish government today filed suit to annul the EU Commission’s decision in the Apple case, which concluded that Ireland granted Apple about €13 billion (USD 14.5 billion) in illegal state aid by issuing tax rulings to the company that inappropriately lowered its tax liability in 2003–2014.
“The Attorney General has been preparing the legal grounds in support of the annulment proceedings and our application has now been lodged in the General Court of the European Union,” an Irish Department of Finance spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
The spokesperson said that the Irish Government “disagrees profoundly” with the Commission’s analysis in the Apple case.
