Under the revised water extraction tax via IRC, companies would be charged 15 cents for each liter of water if their monthly output went over 3.5 million liters. Fiji Water was only paying one-third of a cent at the time and found itself the only corporation standing to be charged that amount. Outraged by the perceived slight, it decided to shut down its factory in protest and laid off all the employees in the process, threatening to pull out of the country altogether (per NPR).
