even if they didn't do anything to obtain said money I'm sure Sony can stomach it lol |
They only obtained the asset ( or I'll say money because that's all you seem to understand), because they lost money in the first place. The government would have lessened their losses if Sony hadn't already racked up as much tax assets as they did.
Here it is is simply.
Sony lost a lot of money. The government was gonna give them a tax break because they lost a lot of money. Sony lessened their calculated losses on this belief. But now the government will not give Sony a tax break. Sony now has to account for their whole loss.
