- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU State Aid Rules - Investigation into Preferential Tax Rulings: Minister for Finance and Office of the Revenue Commissioners (2 Feb 2017)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I will move onto another aspect of this because one can come at it from many different ways.

Richard Boyd Barrett: Did Apple Inc. have the intellectual property rights for the sales of Apple products in Europe, Africa and Asia? Mr. Cody referred to them and kept saying, as the Minister has said, that we know Apple Inc. was managed in and controlled from the United States and that that is where the intellectual property was developed. However, it is irrelevant whether it was developed there. The issue...

Mr. Cody himself referred to ASI...

Richard Boyd Barrett: Therefore, the branch, which has thousands of employees, an office, a headquarters and so on, is a branch of this company that holds the intellectual property rights but which has no staff and no office, and Mr. Cody says it carries out routine functions. What routine functions does it carry out if it has no staff and no office?

Richard Boyd Barrett: What I fail to believe or find credible is that Revenue could accept from Apple that this company, which is incorporated here but not tax-resident here, has any economic reality that would allow the branch to allocate the profits to it.

Richard Boyd Barrett: I do not accept it as credible. Even on that basis - and I think this is more or less what the CCTB attempts to do - even when Revenue was trying to assess what the Cork branch did, I think a reasonable understanding of this is that there is a place where the intellectual property is developed, then there is a hub for selling that intellectual property and then there are the countries into...
