It is pointed out that about 37 billion yen has not been reported to the SoftBank Group.

According to an interview with a person concerned, the Tokyo National Taxation Bureau pointed out that about 37 billion yen was not declared in transactions related to the merger of a major US mobile phone company under the SoftBank Group.

The SoftBank Group clarified that it had made an amended return and said, "It was due to a difference of opinion."

However, the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau seems to have determined that these costs are included in the acquisition price of the shares and are not deductible. , The SoftBank Group has filed an amended declaration.

Since it was in the red during this period, it seems that there was no additional tax burden.

Regarding this, the SoftBank Group has announced a comment on its website, saying, ``This is due to differences in views such as the timing of expense recording.
