Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: It is not interested.
- Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: Mr. Hogan mentioned that the Department had been liaising with the Commission for the past 18 months or so since the decision was made, that the Department had been exchanging information with it and that the relationship was relatively good, yet the Commission has decided to refer the matter to the European Court of Justice, ECJ. Are politics involved in that?

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: Has the Department been getting reminder or "past due" letters?

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: As a result of the decision on this client of the Revenue Commissioners, which I am assuming is in the top 100 of its clients, has Revenue put in place audit structures to re-examine the matter? I do not doubt that Revenue was engaged by the Commission on ensuring that accurate corporation tax rates were paid, but has there been any internal or external overview to ensure that Mr. Cody, as...

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: I accept that. Broadly speaking, though.

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: -----but it is hardly the basis-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: My question is more specific than that. As a result of the Commission's decision, has Revenue put in place any programme to re-examine the compliance of large companies and the payment of corporation tax?
- Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: Mr. Hogan mentioned that he feels it would not be appropriate for him to cite a cost associated with the work his Department has been undertaking for the past 18 months in the recoupment of the award - actually, I should say "the decision" - of the Commission. I accept that, but he can tell me how many personnel are assigned to this matter and whether they are working whole-time on it,...

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: It is not that granular.
- Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: To condense it , would I be right in estimating there is a minimum of ten people working on the case?

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: I stated earlier - Mr. Cody even said it - that the only place the €13.1 billion had been mentioned was in the press release. That said an awful lot to very many people involved in the sector. Unfortunately, Mr. Cody did not really answer my question about overviewing or whether the Revenue Commissioners had specifically gone back and examined the audit structures or whether they...

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: I assure Mr. Cody I will allow him back in. I wanted to assess whether the Department or the Revenue Commissioners had actually spent time examining how the Commission had come up with the figure. Perhaps that is not a question for Mr. Hogan but for Mr. Cody. Has the State, or any of its organs, determined specifically how the €13.1 billion figure was calculated?
- Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: Rather than the figure.

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: Maybe I was not clear, but I was not suggesting that in the slightest. I was not suggesting Mr. Cody employ the Commission's methodology in the collection of Irish tax. That is a million miles away from what I said.

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: Mr. Hogan has said his engagement with the Commission is ongoing and that the rules of engagement for the entire process are somewhat fluid. Would that be a fair characterisation?
- Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Alan Farrell: Mr. Hogan has mentioned that the Commission was quite indifferent to certain elements of the process. It simply wants the transfer. Again, I am characterising the situation. Has Mr. Hogan discussed the proceeds in any way? For instance, if one puts €13 billion into a current account, one will receive considerable interest. If one puts it into an investment account, one will get a...
