Foxconn has been hit with a 20,000 yuan ($2,800) fine from Chinese authorities who said the Apple iPhone assembler overstated its expenses.

Venus Feng and Diana Li for Bloomberg News:

Chinese tax authorities handed out a 20,000 yuan ($2,800) fine to a Foxconn Technology Group subsidiary for overstating expenses while Beijing is pursuing a broader probe into the iPhone maker’s operations.

The Foxconn Industrial Internet Co. unit in the central Chinese city of Wuhan was fined by a local tax authority over its accounting of research and development expenses in 2021 and 2022, according to the state-run National Center for Public Credit Information.


MacDailyNews Take: We’ll see what happens with the broader probe, but this first fine should be manageable for Foxconn. 😏
