NewtonSoft Deserialize Not Working Properly In API Controller

I have a situation where if I deserialize a string in my own repository class, I get the full object, an instance of

TaxComplianceDetails

TaxComplianceDetails

. If I deserialize in my controller, in an endpoint method, one of the properties of this object,

TaxStatus

TaxStatus

, is null.

public class TaxComplianceDetails
{
    public string TaxRefNumber { get; set; }
    public Taxstatus TaxStatus { get; set; }
}
public class Taxstatus
{
    public int SuccessInd { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("ComplianceStatus", NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore)]
    public string ComplianceStatus { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("CreatedOnDt", NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore)]
    public DateTime? CreatedOnDt { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("eFiling", NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore)]
    public bool? EFiling { get; set; }
}

public class TaxComplianceDetails
{
    public string TaxRefNumber { get; set; }
    public Taxstatus TaxStatus { get; set; }
}
public class Taxstatus
{
    public int SuccessInd { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("ComplianceStatus", NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore)]
    public string ComplianceStatus { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("CreatedOnDt", NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore)]
    public DateTime? CreatedOnDt { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("eFiling", NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore)]
    public bool? EFiling { get; set; }
}

My repo uses this code to deserialize:

var returnObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TaxComplianceDetails>(extraInfo.sars_tax_compliance_details);
return returnObject;

var returnObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TaxComplianceDetails>(extraInfo.sars_tax_compliance_details);
return returnObject;

In the controller I have this code:

var db = new SarsDbService();
var details = db.ReadTaxComplianceDetails(kycId, ref logHelper, _session, extraInformation);
taxComplianceDetails = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TaxComplianceDetails>(extraInformation.sars_tax_number_details);

var db = new SarsDbService();
var details = db.ReadTaxComplianceDetails(kycId, ref logHelper, _session, extraInformation);
taxComplianceDetails = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TaxComplianceDetails>(extraInformation.sars_tax_number_details);

On my breakpoint just after the above code, I inspect

details

details

and

taxComplianceDetails

taxComplianceDetails

, and in

taxComplianceDetails

taxComplianceDetails

, the

TaxStatus

TaxStatus

property is null.

I somewhat suspect a version mismatch, because the controller has this in the

Startup.ConfigureServices

Startup.ConfigureServices

method, and the project has this package reference

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson

where my repo's project has no direct references to NewtonSoft at all.
