A: Hey, did you hear anything about Ajinomoto?

B: Ajinomoto? No, what’s up?

A: Apparently, they're having a bit of a tax issue!

B: Seriously? Wow! What happened?

A: The government says they didn't report about 96 million dollars correctly over a few years.

B: That's a lot of money!

A: Yeah, it's around 15 billion yen. They're arguing about it, though. They’re saying they did everything right.

B: So, they're fighting the decision?

A: Exactly! They've filed an objection, hoping to change things.

B: I heard something about Thailand too… something about a company they work with?

A: Right! The government thinks Ajinomoto has more control than they admit. They're saying anti-tax haven rules apply.

B: That’s complicated! Anything else?

A: Apparently, they also had trouble with how they handled losses in Nigeria. The government didn’t agree with their way of doing it.

B: Oh dear! I guess they're consulting with experts to try and sort it all out.

A: Yep! They said they did everything by the book, but they’re not happy with the government's decision.
