Demand and penalty-initiation notices cannot rest on an order expressly issued as a draft assessment order. Where proposed disallowances remain proposals, no demand or penalty notice is issued, and the taxpayer retains the right to accept variations or object before final assessment, the payable sum has not been finally determined. Such a defect is not a mere uploading error curable through Section 292B, especially without a subsequent corrective or clarificatory order.
