Would be a shame if the government needed the land for a highway and forced them off of it, paying them a fair value of $200.

So the list of this is that Apple is trying to cut down it's taxes very aggressively. The most recent attempt at this comes in the form of flat out lying about the value of their headquarters. Love or hate apple, this is just stupid.
So much so that when someone mentioned it, I told myself it was a joke, couldn't be true...
http://thehill.com/policy/technology/401776-apple-argued-its-buildings-were-worth-200-instead-of-1-billion-to-reduce
https://sputniknews.com/business/201808151067197776-apple-claims-hq-worth-200-save-tax/
https://www.sfgate.com/technology/businessinsider/article/Apple-is-reportedly-arguing-that-buildings-at-its-13154475.php
https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-trying-to-reduce-cupertino-tax-bill-2018-8
So TLDR, the tax assessors say the building is worth 1 billion, and apple says, "Nope it's worth the cost of a small portable shed."
For those who haven't seen it before, this is the building they are claiming to be worth $200
I'm not saying they're definitely lying... but
Each of those are solar panels. Most solar panels on a residential scale are about the cost apple is saying the building is worth...
Also this is not the only case of them trying to devalue property
It astounds me, and I'm not sure what to say that would be appropriate on this forum...To clarify the 489 open tax appeals stretch back to 2004, meaning there have been unpaid taxes held in court for years!
Let's end this with a quote from the man himself
Alternate Title: Apple Moves headquarters to mobile backyard shed

It's the highest efficiency 10 000 BTU window air conditioner I could find. And it's a wifi powered IoT one no less and even works with Google Assistant and Alexa. By June the Russians will have this thing will be mining cryptocurrency and running DDoS attacks for sure!
