Deemed business income: expanded scope taxes benefits from remission, asset disposals and successors' receipts under new Clause 38.
Clause 38 deems specified sums as profits and gains of business or profession where deductions or allowances were earlier claimed, covering cessation or remission of trading liabilities, excess proceeds on disposal of assets over written down value, sale of research capital assets, recovery of bad debts, and withdrawals from special reserves; it conditions taxability on prior allowance, permits loss set off for ceased businesses, defines key terms and extends liability to successors and post cessation situations.
