An Australian subsidiary of Japan’s Mitsubishi claimed a $A1.22bn income tax deduction in 2009, which related to its acquisition of a coal tenement by the company’s joint venture with BHP Billiton in 2008. The Australian Taxation Office subsequently served Mitsubishi with a notice of amended assessment regarding the tax deduction. The tax dispute has yet to be resolved, although the ATO recently offered a settlement to Mitsubishi.
