for internal revenue tax purposes. The findings may be used as the basis
for assessing the taxes for the other months or quarters of the same or
different taxable years and such assessment shall be deemed prima facie
correct.

in violation of the requirements of Sections 113 and 237 of this Code, or
when there is reason to believe that the books of accounts or other records
do not correctly reflect the declarations made or to be made in a return
required to be filed under the provisions of this Code, the Commissioner,
after taking into account the sales, receipts, income or other taxable base
of other persons engaged in similar businesses under similar situations
or circumstances or after considering other relevant information, may
prescribe a minimum amount of such gross receipts, sales and taxable
base, and such amount so prescribed shall be prima facie correct for
purposes of determining the internal revenue tax liabilities of such person.
