0.005% I believe according to tax experts (cited in the article).

Of course our glorious leader has announced many times that he's going to fight this ruling tooth and nail. The good of a multinational tax evader is naturally more important than the good of 4.6m people.

Actually,  what seems to be missed here is the apple's not paying taxes is not culpably illegal.  Irish government, after all, should be the authority to which Apple look to clarify the legality of its tax situation.

It is the Irish government that did a illegal thing, under obligations it committed to by joining the EU, by allowing Apple to pay effectively no taxes.

So the party at fault here is not Apple.
