Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (24 Apr 2024)

Pearse Doherty: ...a free entry. Nobody does the free entries. These websites have tickets for €100 and there is a free entry. Very few, obviously, some people, do a free entry. The issue is, it is there on the app, with PayPal, Apple Pay, etc. They are paying €100 instead of going through the free entry route with which one has to use a postcard and put the name and address on it. All...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Nov 2023)

Pearse Doherty: Tráthnóna inniu, tá tuairim tugtha ag comhairleoir Chúirt Bhreithiúnais an Aontais Eorpaigh gur cheart breithiúnas na Cúirte Ginearálta maidir le cinneadh chás cánach Apple a chur ar leataobh. Tá a fhios againn uilig go ndearna an cás seo agus an córas cánach a bhí sa tír seo tamall fada ó shin damáiste...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Nov 2023)

Pearse Doherty: ...resisted closing them down for many years until succumbing to pressure from Sinn Féin and others. Regardless of what way the courts judge, the fact is that in 2011 an Irish subsidiary of Apple recorded €16 billion in profit and paid a 0.03% tax rate.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Commission on Taxation and Welfare Report: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Pearse Doherty: ...sense, because this can only work if all parties are involved, for us to collect the tax, if the tax is going to be paid by these companies anyway? For the sake of argument, if we have a company like Apple here and it must pay a minimum 15% tax rate under the OECD pillar 2 rules, if the US signed up to it in that way, why would we not ensure that the tax is paid to us and is paid to the...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Let me finish. The Minister asked me a question so let me finish. We are not talking about Apple versus the corner shop. We are talking about households for a start. The rationale for an upper limit relates to large companies being able to have the State pay multiples of their energy bills. The Minister can shake his head but he outlined to Deputy Boyd Barrett that was one of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Use of Section 110 by Russian Firms: Dr. Jim Stewart (1 Jun 2022)

Pearse Doherty: ...number of questions that I am interested in have already been asked. I have a question about the issue of tax residency. We know the challenges in defining tax residency, where they arose in the Apple case and the so-called stateless income tax strategy that was in operation at that time. Some argue that the tests of tax residency in Ireland, namely, the central management and the...

Finance Bill 2021: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (2 Dec 2021)

Pearse Doherty: ...at it again saying how terrible things would be under Sinn Féin. Many of the companies Deputy Ring mentioned were here since long before the SARP, including Coca-Cola, Allergan's predecessor and Apple. Is he really suggesting that if we get rid of SARP, they will pack up and go? That is nonsense. The taxation proposals we have on individual incomes above €140,000 leaves the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Commissioner Mairead McGuinness on priorities for her term of office and EU Commission matters (9 Dec 2020)

Pearse Doherty: ...my No Consent, No Sale Bill that would prevent the sale of family homes to vultures. I would like to hear her view, as a Commissioner, on the Commission's decision on 25 September to appeal the Apple case. Does she support the stance of the Commission to lodge an apple in the courts? Am I right to presume the Commissioner has responsibility for insurance issues as they are part of...

Decision of the General Court of the European Union in the Apple Case: Statements (24 Jul 2020)

Pearse Doherty: ...bhfuil an chéad bhean, agus Gaeilgeoir líofa, tofa mar Leas-Cheann Comhairle na Dála seo. On 15 July, the European General Court ruled that the competition commission did not succeed in showing that the requisite legal standard that Apple Sales Ireland, ASI, and Apple Operations Europe, AOE, had been granted illegal state aid through selective tax advantages. It is...

Pearse Doherty: ...;14.3 billion sitting in an escrow account which, according to the European Commission, is owed in tax to this State. The Minister's Government is fighting against the European Commission's ruling that Apple made use of illegal tax arrangements. Not only is the Government now trying to throw away €14 billion to which the State is entitled, but it is hiding how much money it is...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2019: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Nov 2019)

Pearse Doherty: ...and whether they used the full amount, which could reduce the figure and so on. That is fine and that is all factual. The vast majority of those intangible assets are located in one company, namely Apple. In 2015, when Apple restructured its operations, it moved its $200 billion of intangible assets to Ireland. In that year, a year in which the increase in our GDP was classed as...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2019: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Nov 2019)

Pearse Doherty: ...past. As he does, the Minister mentioned some of these Nobel peace prize winners selectively. I have not heard the Minister mention the fact that some of them are arguing for him to accept the Apple money and drop the case. Joseph Stiglitz is one example. If Apple loses that case, it will bring in €14.3 billion to the State, which would go a long way in relation to the real...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2019: Committee Stage (5 Nov 2019)

Pearse Doherty: ...will not be subject to capital gains tax. We go back to the point that if they will not be subject to capital gains tax, then it is property that makes up REITs. They are not buying shares in Apple or Google. It is property that is making up REITs and, therefore, they derive the dividends they are disbursing as a result of either the rent roll they are getting from the fact that these...

Finance (Tax Appeals and Prospectus Regulation) Bill 2019: Second Stage (24 Sep 2019)

Pearse Doherty: ..., in this case, it is trying to ensure it will not receive €14 billion in tax due to the taxpayer. Moreover, so far the appeal is costing the taxpayer more than €7 million. This appeal does not offer a speedy resolution, does not offer minimum cost and certainly does not provide an optimal outcome for the people. It lies in stark contrast to the aspirations of the...

Pearse Doherty: I have to go to the Dáil unfortunately, but one of the Department's outputs for 2018 was the agreement with Apple on its transfer of funds into an escrow account. What is the total amount in that escrow fund now?

African Development (Bank and Fund) Bill 2018: Instruction to Committee (27 Nov 2018)

Pearse Doherty: ...That is a necessary change, but it is limited to the Information Commissioner, which is worthy. I have had freedom of information requests refused when I sought records related to the Department of Finance, for example, in its meetings with Apple at a time when the House was discussing changing our tax code, a change which actually favoured the company and others to the tune of...

Pearse Doherty: ...cases was zero. Billions of euro worth of intangible assets were onshored in this period, with one particular company availing of this loophole in a major way. All of this played out in the international press. Apple restructured itself following the closing of the double Irish and, in particular, the stateless companies rules and used this mechanism to write down its tax liability to a...

Finance Bill 2018: Second Stage (23 Oct 2018)

Pearse Doherty: .... The same goes for the implementation of the multilateral convention under the BEPS programme, a step we were obliged to take but where the minimalist approach was taken by opting out of article 12. This pattern is undeniable. It is why the Government opposes public country-by-country reporting, why we are appealing the Apple case decision and why the Minister simply refuses to do the...

Pearse Doherty: ...moved from 90%, the figure that was under discussion in the paper in question, to 100% despite that advice. The Department still will not release the minutes of the four meetings it had with Apple, which was the largest beneficiary of this tax move. We know that Apple discussed this issue with departmental officials during the passage of the Finance Bill because that has already been...
