Presumption of evidence of improper accumulation of profits and hence avoidance of tax payables of
stockholders:
1. holding companies 3. closely-held corporations
2. investment companies 4. profit accumulation beyond the needs of business
Immediacy Test – profit must be applied not too long from the time of retention of profits. This rule applies
if the accumulation of profit is deemed for the reasonable needs of business.
Limit under the Corporation Code of the Philippines – a corporation can retain profits not exceeding 100%
of its paid in capital. Accumulation of profits up to 100% of the paid up capital therefore is not an improper
accumulation of profit.

property, and collecting the income from therefrom or investing the same.
Prima facie instances:
1. Investment of substantial earnings of the corporation in unrelated business or in stock or securities of
unrelated business
2. Investment in bonds and other long-term securities
3. Accumulation of earnings in excess of 100% of paid-up capital, not otherwise intended for the reasonable
needs of the business.

personal, or from activities conducted for profit regardless of the disposition made of such income, shall be
