Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018) Marc MacSharry: Thank you, Chairman. I will not be using my 20 minutes and I will be happy to cede time to my colleagues. I thank the deputation for coming in. Following our queries last week, the Revenue Commissioners sent a detailed note to us and I thank them for that. It is an example for other Departments and State agencies in terms of how they could to respond to and respect this committee in the...

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018) Marc MacSharry: You will be, Chairman. I will start with a basic question. We often hear the term "aggressive tax planning" in media and from commentators. Is that a term used by the Revenue?

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018) Marc MacSharry: So be it. Another thing we hear about frequently in media is brass plate companies. It would be an interesting point for Mr. Cody to tease out for the viewers at home. What is the understanding of brass plate companies? I am not a tax consultant or anything like that. To me a brass plate company is where someone puts up a brass plate inscribed with Joe Bloggs Limited, but that is it.

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018) Marc MacSharry: That is fine. I know the State position is that the €13 billion does not accrue to us. The European Commission has indicated the amount of tax Ireland has to collect could be reduced if other countries, where sales of Apple products took place, lay claim to some of that taxation.
