APPLE Inc used loopholes to avoid paying US$9 billion in US taxes in 2012, US Senator Carl Levin said yesterday at a hearing that brought the companys Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook to Washington to defend the strategies.2012年苹果公司用“漏洞”来脱逃缴纳90亿美元的美国税款，美国参议员Carl Levin在昨天举办的听证会上说道，从而造成公司的首席执行官蒂姆库克回到华盛顿采行保卫策略。Apple executives want the public to focus on the US taxes the company has paid, but the real issue is the billions in taxes it has not paid, said Levin, a Michigan Democrat. Apple employs offshore tax strategies whose purpose is tax avoidance, pure and simple, he said.“苹果高管期望公众注目该公司缴纳的美国税收，但确实的问题是数十亿美元的税收他们还没缴纳，”密歇根州民主党人莱文说道。苹果公司雇用“离岸税务策略，其目的是洗钱，全然而非常简单，”他说道。

Apple, in written testimony, denied any wrongdoing and said the company was one of the largest taxpayers in the US, having paid US$6 billion last year.苹果，在书面证词中，坚称有任何失当不道德，并回应该公司是美国仅次于的纳税人，在去年缴纳了60亿美元税收。Cook and two other executives - including Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer - appeared before the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. The panel, led by Levin, in a report on Monday said Apples subsidiaries include three entities that have no home country for tax purposes.库克和其他两名高管——还包括首席财务官彼得奥本海默——在常务调查委员会之前经常出现。

这个小组由莱文领导，在周一的一份报告说道苹果公司的子公司还包括三家分公司不属于任何国家，也没纳税。In the last four years, Apple has avoided paying taxes on US$44 billion in income, said Senator John McCain of Arizona, the panels top Republican. He called the company one of the biggest tax avoiders in America.在过去的四年里，苹果公司逃亡了440亿美元的税收，亚利桑那州参议员约翰麦凯恩说道，该委员会的共和党领袖。他称之为该公司是美国仅次于的洗钱者。

Three entities set up in Ireland hold 60 percent of Apples profits and claim to be tax residents nowhere in the world, McCain said. Its completely outrageous.在爱尔兰成立的三个子公司持有人60%的苹果利润，声称自己不是“世界上任何地方”的税收居民，麦凯恩说道。“这几乎是荒谬。”Not all lawmakers supported summoning Apple executives to the hearing. Senator Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, said Apple was dealing with an awful tax code.并不是所有的议员都反对恶魔苹果高管听证会。

参议员兰德保罗，一位肯塔基州共和党议员回应，苹果在处置一项“可怕”的税法。Apple also said it supports a broader overhaul of the US tax system.苹果还说道它反对全面改革美国的税收系统。
