...Cook candidly stated that he has "no idea where the number came from. Here is the truth, in that year we paid $400m to Ireland and that was based on the statutory rate of 12.5pc. We believe that makes us the highest taxpayer in Ireland that year." Cook told the Independent that Apple and Ireland had "played by the rules" and would win the case on appeal.
