It might sound very plausible to people out there when the Minister comes to the committee and asks why should we tax sales of Apple products in Spain, the US or wherever. We know the US taxes the sales of products in the US, Canada and the rest of America. That has been identified. In all of the other jurisdictions, why did Apple structure itself in this way? I will rehash what Mr. Tim Cook and Apple have said.
