AI Summary

Deemed income for unexplained stock may attract special unexplained-income tax instead of normal business tax. Whether excess stock discovered during a survey is characterised as business income or as deemed income under the unexplained-assets provisions, and whether ordinary income tax rates or the special unexplained-income tax regime applies, depends on factual attribution of the surplus to business profits versus unexplained receipts and the consequent tax-rate consequences.
