Apple and taxation

Sir, – I notice Apple has being paying tax at "lower rates" than expected over the past few years and thus has saved itself €814 million ("Apple paid €36m tax on $7.11bn profits at Irish unit", Front Page, March 7th). I have today written to Minister for Finance Michael Noonan asking him to please advise me as to how I too can avail of these "lower rates" in respect of my taxes. I expect it will be some time before useful advice is forthcoming. – Yours, etc,
