BBC:

Apple has been told it will not have to pay Ireland €13bn (£11.6bn) in back taxes after winning an appeal at the European Union’s second highest court.

And:

“This case was not about how much tax we pay, but where we are required to pay it,” Apple said in a statement. “We’re proud to be the largest taxpayer in the world as we know the important role tax payments play in society.”

That’s about US$14.9 billion, at today’s trade rate. And the Irish government has appealed the decision.

My bad. Hopped in the car for the last leg of a road trip, realized the error, but took me til this afternoon to correct. Clearly, the Irish government is on side here.
