Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts
9:00 am
Mr. Rónán Hession:
The price at which the product is sold on, in terms of the market price, depends on market conditions at a retail level. In principle, in the case of a pharmaceutical company selling to a related company in Ireland or to a company to which it is not related, the tax results should not change. This is broadly speaking what the arm's length principle means. Companies should not be able to manipulate the price.
