Chapter 25 – Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 Nov 2023) Catherine Murphy: There are a couple of things. Regarding the Apple escrow fund, the Advocate General came down on the side of the Commission and we are waiting to see if that is upheld in court. Some funds could be claimed by other jurisdictions. Presumably, the Department has started to plan in case that happens. I presume it would go from an escrow account to another type of account, if that happens....

Catherine Murphy: ...taking place, a small number of very big accounting and law firms are assisting this. Keeping up with it is almost an industry in itself. One could not talk about this without referencing the Apple tax case. The amount of money Apple has been adjudicated to owe is about 5% of what it has in the bank. It certainly will not break Apple. I find it extraordinary that such efforts are...

That was obviously one of the issues relating to the Apple tax situation, which concerned an entity that was here in the sense that it was registered here. How does the Revenue Commissioners define residency?

Finance Accounts 2015 (6 Jul 2017) Catherine Murphy: Okay. I want to come back to the overall debt and the exposure as given that it can move in, equally, it can move out. For example, the Apple ruling at European level is being challenged in the courts but while it is being challenged, where does that sit in relation to our overall debt because it would clearly be counted in as an asset until a challenge is successful, if that is the case?

2015 Revenue Accounts (13 Oct 2016) Catherine Murphy: To go back to one of the other points raised on the general area of the Apple tax issue, the Revenue Commissioners look at it exclusively from tax law. I am concerned about a number of issues from this point of view. Who informs or questions Brussels? Is there any role for Revenue when it is asked to adjudicate on something, as was the case in 1991 and 2007? We are not isolated, we...

Catherine Murphy: ...with such a decision; — the need to reaffirm the 12.5 per cent rate of Corporation Tax and ensure that the effective tax paid by corporations is commensurate with that rate; — that the tax ruling provided to Apple was unethical and resulted in a significant loss of revenue to Ireland and other States; — that appealing the European Commission's decision requires the...
- Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)
Catherine Murphy: The rulings were issued in 1991 and 2007. Did Revenue check with Brussels whether they constituted or would constitute illegal state aid? How did the deal come about? Was it an approach from Apple or an approach to Apple? Was the IDA involved and was the Government involved? Has the Government looked at the rate at which the Court of Justice of the European Union, CJEU, rulings endorse...
- Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)
Catherine Murphy: In 2012, US Senator Carl Levin, who was the chairperson of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations in the US, began to speak about Apple's tax affairs in Ireland. He did not mince his words. He asked one simple question. Why Ireland? It was his belief that Apple had had a privately negotiated agreement with our Government since 1991, and by 2003 the result was that Apple's corporate...
- Mahon Tribunal Report: Statements (Resumed) (29 Mar 2012)
Catherine Murphy: ...I am disgusted, but I am not shocked. I am disgusted that a tribunal was required. I am disgusted that it cost so much money. I am disgusted that it is being portrayed as a question of a few bad apples, rather than as a question of systemic failure and endemic political corruption, particularly within the Fianna Fáil Party. One has to ask why a tribunal of inquiry was necessary. What...
