Income Tax taxes on income.

To qualify as income the receivables must satisfy two conditions: It must be a periodic/regular, it must come in from a defined source.

Your above scenario of receivables does not satisfy the first condition, hence it is not defined as income.

Not taxable.

If the function of giving out prices is to obtain more business, then the taxpaying company can claim as expenses.

Xuzen explained the condition for taxable income. I guess that's not taxable.

If you have such friend, introduce to me, I won't mind be his/her best friend biggrin.gif
