Re: Hang on
I imagine with business rates, VAT and employee contributions they probably still pay a hefty price.
Yeah, right... Companies do not pay VAT; the final customer pays it; the company merely acts as a collector. Business rates? The same as the business next door with identical premises. Employee contributions? The same as the company next door with the same number of employees on comparable salaries.
In fact every bill a company pays - salaries, utililties, VAT, corporation tax is actually paid by its customers, in this case the bewitched fools who only have to see something with a little i as its initial letter to palpitate until they have bought one.
Apple is pissing up everyones' backs; they are raising two fingers to all the other companies that either can't or won't play the same trick, and we are all the losers because of it.
It's high time that Apple and all the others playing the same game were brought to heel, an act that might just include Vodaphone now I come to think about it.
