Apple paid $17 billion in taxes to Ireland during the previous year, according to the supplied report. The payment represented 40% of Apple’s worldwide tax payments for that period.

The reported figure concerns taxes paid in Ireland rather than Apple’s revenue, profit, capital expenditure, or investment in the country. No breakdown by corporate income tax or other tax category was included in the source message.

The source also did not provide Apple’s total worldwide tax payment as a separate stated figure, the reporting period’s exact start and end dates, or comparisons with previous years. Accordingly, the available update is limited to the reported $17 billion payment and its 40% share of the worldwide total.
