Pearse Doherty: The following statement was given by an Apple representative to the Senate sub-committee hearings: Since the early 1990s the government of Ireland has calculated Apple's taxable income in such a way as to produce an effective rate in the low single digits. The rate has varied from year to year, but since 2003 has been 2% or less.That statement is contained within the exhibits relating to the...

Pearse Doherty: Yes, that is very interesting. Can Mr. Tobin confirm whether he was the official in the Department of Finance who telephoned Apple after the hearing recommendations emerged? It is a matter of public record, as indicated by the Minister for Finance, that telephone calls were made to Apple after the publication of those recommendations on 21 May. The CEO of Apple subsequently indicated that...

Pearse Doherty: .... We have often discussed tendering processes and so on in the finance committee, but this is something completely different. I wish to ask Mr. Tobin a question on a separate matter. Although Apple is involved, we will discuss it in general terms. There are companies incorporated in this State which are non-resident for tax purposes. These companies do not employ anyone. One of...

Pearse Doherty: I am well aware of the tax code in regard to small companies. The statement to which I referred was made to the Senate hearings by a representative of Apple. That company provided a lot of information to the hearing over a number of weeks because it was the case study. In disputing the claim, Mr. O'Dea is effectively saying it was blatantly wrong. Does he accept that?

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation: Base Erosion and Profit Shifting: Discussion with Department of Finance and Revenue (18 Sep 2013)

Mr. Eamonn O'Dea: I am pleased and eager to dismiss the claim as it is presented in the statement to which the Deputy referred. Indeed, as Mr. Tobin pointed out, Apple subsequently took the trouble to correct the record in that regard. Coming back to the Deputy's initial remark, I fully accept that I neglected or overlooked to make a very brief opening statement. I am happy to do so now...

Pearse Doherty: .... I find it astonishing, however, that the Secretary General of the Department would make a suggestion to the company that it should approach the Government to discuss improved adoption of Apple's products. Would it be normal practice for senior people within a Department to approach a private company and suggest it go to Government to sell its product?

Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation: Base Erosion and Profit Shifting: Discussion with Department of Finance and Revenue (18 Sep 2013)

Pearse Doherty: ...to these hearings. Perhaps the submission could be furnished to the committee later because members are asking questions blindly. Since the early 1990s the Government of Ireland has calculated Apple's taxable income in such a way as to produce an effective rate in single digits. The rate is varied from year to year but since 2003 it has been-----
