  • Europe’s top court on Tuesday ruled against Apple in the tech giant’s 10-year court battle over its tax affairs in Ireland. 
  • The case stems back to 2016 when the European Commission ordered Ireland to recover up to 13 billion euros ($14.4 billion) in back taxes from Apple.
  • The Commission said at the time Apple had received “illegal” tax benefits from Ireland over the course of two decades.
