Carnegie said she didn't know. She hasn't been to Bermuda either. "I know we have a simple tax structure here in Australia," she said in relation to Google Australia's actual statutory revenues in Australia hailing from Google Ireland, Google Inc and Google in Singapore (which get research and development tax breaks). It has just three customers. Although its advertising revenue from thousands of Australian customers is routed via resellers, through Singapore, and is not even subject to income tax here, let alone GST. Unlike her peer Tony King, Maile Carnegie told the Senate she did know what a double Irish Dutch sandwich was and she made some effort to explain it. As for the Bermuda leg of the capital journey: "I acknowledge there is a lot more complexity to the Google global tax structure but I don't have those details today." http://www.canberratimes.com.au/business/sandwiches-on-the-menu-as-corporate-chiefs-front-tax-inquiry-20150409-1mgvkh.html thats right, just hit the workers yet again next will be free to air TV gone down the drain, so we pay per view. & independent journalists & TV presenters start to follow the tony jones model. Lets ripoff the budget from the ABC & SBS, & the other community TV & Radio stations; as the right wing high fliers dictate the mandate to our politicians, & to us all, thru their media controlled doctrines.
