This chapter explores the European Court of Justice's recent decision requiring Apple to pay €13 billion in back taxes related to illegal aid from Ireland. It examines the implications of the ruling for Apple's financial strategies and Ireland's economic landscape.

The EU’s top court orders Apple to pay €13bn in back taxes, and the Federal Reserve halves its proposed capital requirement increase for the largest US banks. Plus, we talk to the FT’s Benjamin Parkin about the Taliban’s warming relations with a growing number of regional powers.
