Thank you for your email. I have also received an email that Business supporting fee might be taxable from Matsumoto san today.
As you might know, Global Operation Department (hereinafter called GO) launched to support our subsidiary companies as our new department on October 1st. To expand the business in globally, each subsidiary company including NTB has to stand up and make new sales. However, there is only limited manpower in each company so that GO will help them in stead of hiring staff at subsidiary companies.
I am not sure the information described above is sufficient or not. If you have more further questions or concerns, please let me know.
