The Race Is On To Tax Apple's "Pot Of Gold" In Ireland

djmcaleese/flickr / Via flic.kr

Ireland will appeal against an EU ruling that Apple owes it $14.5 billion in unpaid taxes, its prime minister confirmed on Friday, saying its challenge “is about Ireland, it is about our people, it&;s about us as a sovereign nation.”

And while the appeals process drags on, the EU&039;s ruling has already made its mark elsewhere — in the race among tax collectors across the world to claim their share of trillions of dollars of untaxed cash stowed away by multinational corporations.

In that race, Apple&039;s stockpile looms largest: the accumulated windfall of the company&039;s singularly profitable position in the mobile revolution of the past decade. Apple has made more profit from mobile devices than the rest of the industry combined, and for every iPhone and iPad sold anywhere in the EU — the world&039;s largest economic bloc — profits found their way to Ireland. And now that mountain of money, more than $200 billion of it, has its first big tax claim. More will come.

First in line, if its lawmakers can get their act together, will be the US Treasury. Apple has said it is open to bringing much of its offshore cash home if tax rates on overseas profits are lowered, as many politicians, both Republican and Democrat, have proposed. But the likelihood of any deal being struck in the near term is remote, meaning for the time being, the EU is in the lead.

“The EU has taken their share of [Apple&039;s revenues], but that doesn’t mean the US can’t take theirs,” wrote George Turner, who runs Finance Uncovered, a British investigative project on the financial industry. “The problem is that US policy makers have been unable to determine how to do that. That is not the EU’s problem however.”

But while it may be overturned on appeal, some believe the EU&039;s ruling will inspire a fresh round of deal-making in Washington, where policymakers fear a European tax windfall could pre-empt one of their own.

“All of a sudden the pot of gold starts dwindling and there are fewer chips to negotiate with,” Stephen Myrow, a managing partner at Beacon Policy Advisors, told BuzzFeed News. “It lights a fire under the US, it&039;s basically saying, &039;People, listen, we have to get a deal done. If these companies are paying this money, better pay to us than the Europeans.&039;”

As an example of such thinking, consider Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat who has led efforts to assemble a corporate tax reform package. He said the EU ruling was a “cheap money grab” that specifically targeted “US business and the US tax base.”

“The European Union is going to grab this money, instead of the U.S.,” he told the New York Times.

Not everyone agrees with Schumer&039;s interpretation of exactly where Apple&039;s European profits should go. Turner wrote that Apple is “liable to pay taxes on profits made in other countries to the governments in those countries” and that its Irish tax arrangement allowed Apple to avoid paying taxes on profits earned elsewhere in Europe. “This scheme has deprived European nations of tax due to them, but hasn’t deprived the United States of anything,” he wrote.

Outrage over Apple&039;s tax arrangements largely originated in the United States, with a congressional investigation in 2013 that lad to Apple chief executive Tim Cook&039;s appearance before a Senate committee. When Cook took questions, Michigan Democrat Carl Levin said that Apple&039;s financial shenanigans were “the epitome of creative tax gimmickry.”

In a white paper released last week, the Treasury Department said that the EU&039;s investigations into US companies “was an unforeseeable departure from the status quo” and that the investigations could “undermine the United States&039; efforts” in setting tax rules. The EU&039;s actions could even “call into question the ability of Member States to honor their bilateral tax treaties with the United States,” the Treasury said.

But the Treasury needs to worry about more than just tax treaties: Its own tax receipts could take a hit. Apple, if it ever pays the $14.5 billion the EU insists it owes Ireland, could use that payment as a credit against taxes owed in the US, said William Gale, the co-director of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.

And it might not be the last company to do that. The European Commission is also looking at similar tax arrangements for Starbucks in the Netherlands, and Amazon and McDonald&039;s in Luxembourg. So could the threat of US tax receipts taking a hit due to European rulings spur DC into a rare moment of cooperation?

“There&039;s nothing like an external enemy to unite people,” Gale said.

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9 is here! So what’s new?

This week we released the latest version of our OpenStack product, Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9. This release contains more than 500 downstream enhancements, bug fixes, documentation changes, and security updates. It’s based on the upstream OpenStack Mitaka release. We have worked hard to reduce the time to release new versions and have successfully done so with this release! Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9 contains new Mitaka features and functionality, as well as the additional hardening, stability, and certifications Red Hat is known for. Of course, there continues to be tight integration with other key portfolio products, as well as comprehensive documentation.
So what are some of the main new highlights for this release?

Automated updates and upgrades
Red Hat OpenStack Platform director 9 provides backward compatibility 1 version back. This means you can use director 9 to deploy and manage Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8. And starting with version 9, the lifecycle support for director has been increased to match the lifecycle support for the core.   
When you decide it’s time to upgrade, director will perform the required actions step-by-step. One of these steps will involve the enablement of the new alarms API (called Aodh&;more on that later) and the migration of the old Ceilometer Alarms.
Heat resource chains and a new hook for pre-delete
Previously, customers using Heat could only specify a single monolithic template for orchestration. Now multiple templates can be supported simultaneously. This simplifies the use of Heat templates and provides greater flexibility.
Also new in version 9, Heat can perform cleanup actions, like closing network connections, logging and event, or syncing filesystems. This allow for proper shutdown of virtual machines managed by Heat.
Live migration improvements
Compute now automatically detects block vs. shared storage when performing the live migration of an instance, which can accelerate the process by leveraging the shared storage. It’s also now possible to monitor the live migration progress and even pause or cancel a virtual machine in the middle of the migration from the old to the new hypervisor.
Thread-aware CPU pinning for NFV and HPC workloads
Earlier releases of Compute added support for instances with dedicated CPU resources and NUMA topology awareness. By default, it would prefer using sibling threads for vCPUs using simultaneous multi-threading (SMT), although its behavior could only be changed cluster-wide with the configuration file options. Now that behavior is configurable dynamically within individual image properties and extra specifications.

Prefer: the default, it prefers placing guest vCPUs on sibling threads where they are available. Host may or may not have SMT support.
Isolate: this isolates threads placing guest vCPUs on different physical cores. On systems with SMT support, it means that no vCPUs from other guests are placed on those cores.
Require: this forces the use of thread siblings. The host must have SMT support.

Ability to purge a project’s networking
Previously, after deleting a project, you had to deal with stale resources that were once allocated to the project. This included networks, routers, and ports. These stale resources had to be manually deleted and deleted in the correct order. Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9 has addressed this issue using the Neutron purge command to delete the Neutron resources that once belonged to a particular project.
This reduces the possibility of orphaned resources (IPs, ports, and DHCP servers) living in the system without an owner and possibly unnecessarily consuming resources. Previously, only the admin could see and clean them either manually or with scripts. Now the admin (after deleting the tenant) can remove the networking artifacts in a coherent fashion. No more wasting resources, like floating IPv4 addresses, after removing a project.
Gnocchi
Gnocchi is a time-series backend for ceilometer that works with Ceph or Swift and provides high performance storage and queries of the metrics collected, which is highly scalable and better than previous implementations. With Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9, Gnocchi is promoted from “tech preview” to “fully supported”, but it will not deploy by default by Director&8211;it needs to be enabled by the operator.
Aodh
The new Alarming component that replaces Ceilometer Alarms is called Aodh (pronounced like the letter “A”). It offers a separate API for configuring and triggering custom Alarms by tenants. Director’s installation tool will enable Aodh and migrate users to the new API.
These are some of the main highlights for product features. As a reminder to our customers, Red Hat Cloudforms is included free of charge with Red Hat OpenStack Platform (quickstart documentation available here), to manage both infrastructure and running workloads. And for version 9, Red Hat CloudForms offers the following new features:

Tenant Management:  SSH Key Management, Volume and Images Management, Right Size Recommendations for CPU and Memory, Instance Flavor Reconfiguration (i.e. from m1.tiny to m2.xlarge), Live Migration, Events from Ceilometer, etc.
Infrastructure management (undercloud): Scale In and Out (add or remove overcloud nodes), evacuate all or selected instances from a host that needs to be decommissioned; Also, the ability to do Capacity Planning to evaluate how many VMs of a particular profile (e.g. currently running on VMware) can fit on our OpenStack deployment.

Apple Is Getting Stricter About Health Apps

Monkeybusinessimages / Getty Images

Hundreds of health and medical apps abound on Apple&;s App Store, but for consumers, there&039;s no easy way to tell which ones are effective and tested — and which ones are useless, or even harmful. Medical experts and regulators have questioned apps that claim to calculate insulin dosages for diabetics, diagnose melanoma risk, measure blood pressure, care for patients with schizophrenia, and offer reproductive health advice but don&039;t mention contraception.

Apple is now trying to filter out the noise by getting stricter about which health apps it&039;ll permit in its store. In developer guidelines released today, it tells iOS app makers: “If your app behaves in a way that risks physical harm, we may reject it.”

“If your app behaves in a way that risks physical harm, we may reject it.”

Apple will heighten its scrutiny of apps that “could provide inaccurate data or information, or that could be used for diagnosing or treating patients.” Apps that calculate drug dosages need to come from an institution like a drug manufacturer, a hospital, or an insurer, or have FDA approval.

In addition, Apple will not allow apps that encourage people to illegally or excessively consume drugs or alcohol — for example, to drive drunk. Marijuana sales, too, are banned.

And apps shouldn&039;t tell consumers to use their devices in ways that put them at risk for physical harm: “For example, apps should not encourage placing the device under a mattress or pillow while charging.”

The FDA does regulate medical apps, just on a very limited basis. It focuses on the narrow segment of apps that effectively act as medical devices, and last month, it clarified that it&039;ll be hands-off for wellness apps that promote general healthy behaviors (like losing weight). But Apple, the actual gatekeeper to iOS apps, has the power to be just as, or even more, effective in weeding out harmful software.
