Apple rakes in $12.9b in Australian revenue, pays $188m in tax

Documents filed with the corporate regulator show Apple's profit margins in Australia remain below 5%, well short of its global figure.

Apple’s growing services business — which includes iCloud and Apple TV, among other subscription products — accounted for the bulk of the overall revenue gain. Reuters.

Apple has booked close to $13 billion in Australian revenue off the back of growth in its local services business, as the iPhone maker looks to stoke rising demand in emerging markets.

Documents filed with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission on Friday also show Apple’s Australian subsidiary reported net profit after tax of $441 million for the 2025 financial year, up 5.5% on the $418.2 million posted the previous year.

Revenue for the year was $12.96 billion, up 5.6% on the $12.27 billion booked in 2024. The numbers imply a pretax profit margin for Apple of less than 5% in Australia, compared to about 43% globally according to numbers in its most recent quarterly results.

Apple’s Australian subsidiary returned $401.6 million in dividends to its immediate parent company in Ireland, Apple Operations International Limited, and paid $188 million in tax.
