In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing in 2015, Coca-Cola said it had been following the same method to calculate its taxable U.S. income from foreign affiliates for nearly 30 years.

So as tax laws changed, Coca-Cola just kept doing the same thing. Just go ahead and admit to fraud, I guess. Interesting strategy.

What, do you expect the Coca-Cola corporation to hire accountants and lawyers to keep track of changes in tax law?
