A quick definition of capital-stock tax:

A capital-stock tax is a type of tax that the government charges on a company's ownership shares. It is a way for the government to collect money from businesses to fund public services and projects. Taxes are charges that the government imposes on people, things, or activities to raise money for public needs. They can be paid in different forms, not just money.

A more thorough explanation:

A capital-stock tax is a type of tax imposed by the government on the capital stock of a corporation. It is a monetary charge that is intended to generate public revenue. Taxes can take many forms, including duties, imposts, and excises. Although taxes are often thought of as being payable in money, they can also be paid in other forms.

  • Accrued tax: A tax that has been incurred but not yet paid or payable.
  • Accumulated-earnings tax: A penalty tax imposed on a corporation that has retained its earnings in an effort to avoid the income-tax liability arising once the earnings are distributed to shareholders as dividends.
  • Additional tax: A tax imposed as a stopgap measure.
  • Admission tax: A tax imposed as part of the price of being admitted to a particular event.

For example, an admission tax may be imposed on people attending a concert or sporting event. The tax is included in the price of the ticket, and the revenue generated is used to support public needs. Similarly, an accumulated-earnings tax may be imposed on a corporation that has retained its earnings instead of distributing them to shareholders as dividends. The tax is intended to prevent corporations from avoiding income-tax liability.

It looks like an update to the sub status (it saying complete instead of being blank) means some sort of review has happened - basically a UR2. Seems like those who got a substatus change got a decision a few days after...
