Addressing disputed purchases and commission claims, the note holds that where sales and business are accepted, purchases cannot be treated as wholly non-existent and an addition should be limited to the profit element; accordingly purchases from two suppliers (where statutory notices were unserved) were estimated at the declared gross profit rate of 6.5% to account for possible embedded profit and price inflation.
