Windfall profit
A profit not anticipated. It might arise perhaps from changes in legislation. An increase in tax or duty might result in the manufacturer’s making additional profit on stock whereon the lower rate of duty has already been paid. Windfall profits, being exceptional, should be shown separately in company accounts.
