While this is interesting to some extent, surely this emphasises more that there is something wrong with the state's tax processing? If all the paperwork was in as necessary, why were they having to pull strings at all to get them processed?

Why is the state's system so inefficient?

How much money could the state be saving by improving the process?

How much are businesses being negatively impacted by the slow speed these credits are being processed?

I think there is also a question about whether such extravagant credits only easily capturable by large entities like Sony should exist - but I agree, the 'outrage' seems to be misdirected at some apparent malfeasance. No. The outcome was within the law; Sony was legally due the money.
