Uncovering Apple's Tax Havens On Point with Tom Ashbrook May 22, 2013 Apple in the hot seat. Lawmakers say the company dodged billions in taxes on overseas profits. We'll look at the world of offshore tax escapes. The headlines looked pretty bad for Apple this week on taxes and offshore shelters. "Gimmicks." "Schemes." Billions dodged. Stateless subsidiaries paying taxes nowhere, on giant revenues. Then on Tuesday, Apple CEO Tim Cook in the hot seat in Washington, insisting that Apple is proud to be an American company, that it's broken no laws. Reminding Congress of the billions it does pay in U.S. taxes. Apple is not the only U.S. corporation working the edges of tax law in the global economy. It's a big deal.
