Dear Inland Revenue Department,

Whille it may be deemed protect by the privacy act, or perhaps not as a publicly traded company, as the world leader in in tax evasion / tax avoidance, Apple Inc set world records in 2017 by paying no tax at all (virtually) for the 10 years leading up to 2017, a year when they had sales of over $4 billion NZD, I think this justifies my request in public interest?

They (Apple and IRD NZ) seem to be the perfect example to single out for investigation to check how our whole global tax system is function don't you agree?

Also they are my personel yardstick: Apple is the largest taxpayer in the world we’ve paid over $35 billion USD in corporate income taxes over the past three years, plus billions of dollars more in property tax, payroll tax, sales tax and VAT. But not so much in NZD to IRD NZ?

Radio NZ reports a new tax was put in: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/496... But I do NOT see a number. I want to see the exact amount Apple paid this year, last year, the last five years, heck if you can pull 10 years upto 2014-2024 I would not put you at fault!

I am tracking this at my blog: https://www.funk.co.nz/auckland-music-up... (link goes live in 24 hours)

Yours faithfully,

Tom Atkinson
