(NASDAQ:AAPL) (current:$441.43, up by 1.86%) , Tim Cook would present a testimony to the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which had been probing into various maneuvers used by corporates to reduce the tax bills. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) had earlier planned to return its cash holdings of $100 billion from other countries into the United States through dividends and buybacks from shareholders. This would have otherwise resulted in $9.2 billion in corporate taxes to the company if it had been brought into US directly.
Tax reforms

Increase in jobs in US
The Chief Executive Officer reported that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) had planned to $100 million to construct facilities to build Mac computers in the United States, which would in turn provide for the creation of 200 jobs to the nationals. Apple Inc.
