I welcome the Commissioner. In a CNBC interview, she stated:
We never questioned how Apple is organized. We do not question Irish tax code, that is for the Irish.
Subsequently, on 30 August, Mr. Tim Cook of Apple wrote that, over the years, Apple "received guidance from Irish tax authorities on how to comply correctly with Irish tax law — the same kind of guidance available to any company doing business there". Did the Commissioner ask the question about how many opinions Revenue gave to other companies regarding that particular piece of legislation?
