註3 “If you look at it today, to repatriate cash to the U.S., you need to pay 35 percent of that cash... “And that is a very high number. We are not proposing that it be zero. I know many of our peers believe that. But I don’t view that. But I think it has to be reasonable.”

註4 This year, Cook said, the company is on track to pay $7 billion in federal taxes.“When you combine state and federal, Apple is paying approximately $1 million an hour in just domestic income taxes,” he said.

“You may not know this, but Apple likely is the largest corporate taxpayer in the U.S.,” Cook added.
