Meanwhile, theyâre thinking about moving production to India and Vietnam. Good luck with that! Itâs like trying to change your entire life plan overnight. Good luck, Apple! đ
The proposal, unveiled on the gloriously mundane date of April 8, suggests a tax rate of 18% plus a cheeky little 5% military surcharge for those who dare to cash out their digital gold into the realm of fiat.
