The “level playing field” is what it’s really about. Ireland captured all of Apple’s banking in exchange for lower taxes. Ireland was happy because of the enormous liquidity, Apple was happy to save money.
The rest of the EU banks wanted Apple’s money too, but couldn’t offer the same deal. So this lawsuit.
