[45072/14] 26/11/2014A00350Deputy Brendan Smith: It is essential that progress is made without further delay with the issues that form part of the Haass talks, namely parades, flags, emblems and contending with the past. I hope the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Charles Flanagan, and the UK Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Ms Theresa Villiers, MP, will be able to report progress to both Governments, as once again there is a very tight timeline with a British gen- eral election due in the first half of next year. I welcome the fact that both Governments have become engaged in these talks over the past few months, as I stated consistently in this House before that the lack of engagement by both Governments at the time of the Haass talks was a missed opportunity� 26/11/2014A00400Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade (Deputy Charles Flanagan): I thank Deputy Brendan Smith and his party for their encouragement, support and assistance on this issue. Since 16 October, discussions have been ongoing in the political talks in Northern Ireland con- vened by the Irish and British Governments� These talks bring together the Northern Ireland Executive parties and the two Governments to address several key issues that have badly im- pacted on the reconciliation agenda and on economic renewal� The talks are structured around four streams: budgetary and financial matters; legacy issues, namely, parades, flags and identity, as well as dealing with the past; institutional issues including the effective functioning of the Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive; and outstanding commitments from the Good Fri- day and St� Andrews Agreements� 2 26 November 2014 The Irish Government’s interest in the talks is to ensure these agreements, and effective partnership government which is at the heart of them, work for the benefit of the people of Northern Ireland and across this island� The talks are now in their seventh week� Since 16 Oc- tober, I have been in Belfast for an intensive range of discussions on Wednesday and Thursday of each week, accompanied by my colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Sean Sherlock. I travel there again this afternoon for a further series of meetings� I have been encouraged by the constructive approach demonstrated by all parties to date in the talks� Productive discussions are taking place between the two Governments and the North- ern Ireland Executive parties in a range of formats and across each of the talks’ streams. While encouraging progress has been made in several challenging areas, a good deal of work remains to be done if we are to bridge the gaps between the positions of the different parties� I do not underestimate the challenge involved� It is clear the talks have now entered an important phase in which renewed and intensified efforts are required to achieve a comprehensive agreement� Both the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Theresa Villiers, MP, and I will be reporting to the British Prime Minister and to the Taoiseach respectively on the state of play in the talks at the end of this week� I hope we will be in a position to report progress sufficient to maintain the engagement. I have said previ- ously that it is my wish that these talks will be completed by the Christmas period� 26/11/2014A00600Deputy Brendan Smith: I thank the Minister for his response and wish everyone partici- pating in the talks continued success� I welcome the fact he said discussions have been produc- tive. I note, however, a significant amount of work has yet to be done. Hopefully, it will be concluded successfully� There is an obvious need to reduce sectarianism in Northern Ireland and a need to promote reconciliation� Has the British Government given

  • Transfer Pricing As a Vehicle in Corporate Tax Avoidance
    The Journal of Applied Business Research – January/February 2017 Volume 33, Number 1 Transfer Pricing As A Vehicle In Corporate Tax Avoidance Joel Barker, Borough of Manhattan Community College, USA Kwadwo Asare, Bryant University, USA Sharon Brickman, Borough of Manhattan Community College, USA ABSTRACT Using transfer pricing, U.S. Corporations are able to transfer revenues to foreign affiliates with lower corporate tax rates. The Internal Revenue Code requires intercompany transactions to comply with the “Arm’s Length Principle” in order to prevent tax avoidance. We describe and use elaborate examples to explain how U.S. companies exploit flexibility in the tax code to employ transfer pricing and related tax reduction and avoidance methods. We discuss recent responses by regulatory bodies. Keywords: Transfer Pricing; Tax avoidance; Inversion; Tax Evasion; Arm’s Length Principle; R & D for Intangible Assets; Cost Sharing Agreements; Double Irish; Profit Shifting INTRODUCTION ver the last decade U.S. corporations have been increasing their use of Corporate Inversions. In an inversion, corporations move their domestic corporations to foreign jurisdictions in order to be eligible O for much lower corporate tax rates. Furthermore, inversions allow U.S. corporations that have accumulated billions of dollars overseas through transfer pricing to access those funds tax free. With an inversion a U.S. corporation becomes a foreign corporation and would not have to pay tax to the U.S. government to access the funds accumulated abroad as the funds no longer have to be repatriated to be spent. Corporations continue to avoid taxation through Transfer Pricing. This article explains transfer pricing and discusses some of the tax issues that transfer pricing pose including recommendations and proposed legislation to mitigate the practice.

    Norwegian School of Economics Bergen, Fall 2017 Paradise Profits - Tax Planning in Multinational Companies A case study of Pfizer Inc. Håvard Skolseg Evensen & Alexander Nymgaard Nøstvik Supervisor: Guttorm Schjelderup Master Thesis in Financial Economics NORWEGIAN SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS This thesis was written as a part of the Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration at NHH. Please note that neither the institution nor the examiners are responsible − through the approval of this thesis − for the theories and methods used, or results and conclusions drawn in this work. 1 Abstract In recent years, it has become increasingly evident that current tax regulations are not properly equipped to handle the business structures of multinational companies. A number of revelations and leakages have exposed how such companies, often from the US, make use of tax minimization strategies in order to shift profits and reduce tax liabilities. In this thesis, we examine the inner workings of these arrangements, and analyze the extent of aggressive tax planning in the pharmaceutical company Pfizer. In our preliminary analysis, we find that the company is able to defer large amounts of income tax by stashing $187 billion in profits offshore, ultimately resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.28 percent in 2016. In our work to identify Pfizer’s methods of profit shifting, we find evidence of, inter alia, tax-incentivized location of patents, excessive tax burden in the US and a tax-exempt CV/BV conduit structure in the Netherlands. We thereby conclude that Pfizer exploits loopholes in international tax regulations in order to significantly reduce their tax liability.

Tax planning evaluates various tax strategies in Torder to determine how to conduct business (and personal transactions) in ways that will reduce or eliminate taxes paid to various governments, with the objective, in the case of multinational corporations, of minimizing the aggregate of taxes paid worldwide. Well-managed entities appropriately attempt to minimize the taxes they pay while making sure they are in full compliance with applicable tax laws. This process—the legitimate lessening of income tax expense—is often EVA K. JERMAKOWICZ, Ph.D., CPA, is a referred to as tax avoidance, thus distinguishing it from tax evasion, which is illegal.

Indeed, to do otherwise would represent nonfeasance in office by corporate managers and board members. Multinational corporations make several important decisions in which taxation is a very important factor, such as where to locate a foreign operation, what legal form the operations should assume and how the operations are to be financed.

    Irish Rare Bird Report 2014 M. Carmody and J. Hobbs (on behalf of the Irish Rare Birds Committee) BirdWatch Ireland, Unit 20, Block D, Bullford Business Campus, Kilcoole, Co. Wicklow Introduction Palearctic away from the Azores. Ireland’s second Pacific Diver Gavia pacifica (Galway) and third Sardinian Warbler Sylvia The year under review was the classic year of two halves. The melanocephala (Cork) were recorded in April and the fourth first half was one of the most exciting starts to a year in recent records of Red-flanked Bluetail Tarsiger cyanurus (Mayo) and times, whereas the latter half was far more pedestrian. In line American Coot Fulica americana (Kerry) were recorded in with that, both additions to the Irish list in 2014 were during October and November respectively. Also, this report contains the first six months, with an American Purple Gallinule details of the second Little Swift Apus affinis from Wexford in Porphyrio martinicus found dead in Mayo and, less than a May 2002 and the fourth Thrush Nightingale Luscinia luscinia week later, a Slaty-backed Gull Larus schistisagus in Galway, from Cork in October 2013. Significant records of sub-species both of these in February. Undoubtedly, though, the most in the report are of the first Eastern Subalpine Warbler Sylvia significant record of the year was a Bermuda Petrel cantillans albistriata from Mayo in 2007 and the first Yellow Pterodroma cahow , which is categorised as an ‘At sea’ record as it was observed some 170 nautical miles west of Ireland, a location that lies outside the boundary of the Irish List.

  • Wetlands of Internationaland National Importance in the REPUBLIC of IRELAND
    REPORT on Wetlands of Internationaland National Importance in the REPUBLIC of IRELAND 0 November 1974 I INTRODUCTION Authors of earlier lists of important wetlands in Ireland e.g. Cabot and Ruttledge (1966) and 0 Gorman (1971), had torely largely on their own subjective assessment of the relevant merits of different areas. However, in preparing the report for 1974, it has been possible to operate not onlyon objective criteria laid down by the IWRB and IUCN but alsoon the results of an extensive survey undertaken over the past two yearsas a co-operative effort by the Forest and Wildlife Service of the the Dept. of Lands and the Irish Wildbird Conservancy -of wildfowl and wader numbers in Irish wetlands. For purposes of the attached report for 1974, wildfowl datahave been extracted from an unpublished report by the Irish Wildbird Conservancy; information on plant ecology has been compiled from a field survey carried out by the Forest and WildlifeService (Research Branch) and also from data supplied by An ForasForbartha (The National Institute for Physical Planning and Construction) and from material extracted from various other sources. This report is in two parts. Part 1 relates to wetlands which are regarded as of International importance; Part II lists those which are considered to be of national significance.
