than deposits, through the issuance, endorsement, or acceptance of debt instruments for the borrower’s own
account, for the purpose of re-lending or purchasing receivables and other obligations or financing their own
needs or the needs of their agent or dealer. With this, the mere issuance of government debt instruments or
securities is deemed as falling under deposit substitutes irrespective of the number of lenders at the time of
origination, and therefore interest income derived therefrom shall be subject to applicable final tax rate.

instruments or securities are to be treated or exchanged in the secondary market.
