Patrimonio
El incremento patrimonial no justificado como instrumento para gravar el patrimonio oculto.
It is the topic of an article I am currently translating.
The point is, there are 15 possible translations in English of the term "Patrimonio" in Spanish, so I am inclined here to translate "The unjustified increase in net worth as an instrument for taxing hidden assets".
I submit this for your opinions.

unsubstantiated wealth/estate (personal)/equity (business) increase
The use of equity would be more appropriate for a business or legal personal, while wealth/estate is more relevant for an individual in terms of tax returns.
Note from asker:
| Thank you. And there is a legal concept in some Latin american tax laws: IPNJ: Incremento patrimonial no justificado. I am struggling with finding an equivalent to this acronym. |
| Unsubstantiated, yes but I think we need to avoid having 3 or 4 terms for "aumento de patrimonio". increase in wealth, assets, equity, estate, capital gain...and why not just "patrimonial increase"? |

unjust (proprietary / asset-based) enrichment
Rebecca J.'s 5 CL-answer of 'unjust enrichment' is IMO the way to go.
El incremento patrimonial no justificado como instrumento para gravar el patrimonio oculto : 'unjust (proprietary) enrichment used as an instrument for taxing (hitting on) concealed assets'.
Proprietary (as well as 'equity' or 'asset-based' rather than net worth) arguably reflects the 'patrimonial' element and is predicated on the concept of 'proprietary restitution' - see the second W. Swadling weblink: 'Policy arguments for proprietary restitution'.
In England & Wales, Canada and many other English Common Law jurisdictions, filtering as well as trickling down to - or cross-fertilizing with - Roman Civil-Law countries like Spain and Germany, it is a developing area of law that, as some of us will know, has been spawned out of other areas of law, notably the Law of Restitution and at the intersection of what used to be known as quasi-contract, Equity, tort and crime.
Such is an area of keen interest shown by my ex-London Uni. Equity Law Lecturer, William 'Bill' Swadling and the late Prof. Peter Birks of Oxford Uni. in harmony with Contract Law supremo: Prof. Andrew Burrows QC.

Example sentence:
Work by the late Professor Peter Birks and Professor Andrew Burrows QC, Professor of the Law of England at the University of Oxford, has been influential in the development of a new branch of English private law: the law of unjust enrichment. The law of
In broad terms, a claimant who asserts a claim for unjust enrichment must establish three elements: the defendant has been enriched or has received a benefit; the defendant's enrichment is unjust; & defendant's enrichment was at the claimant's expens

| I also disagree here. The concept is much broader. |

Phil has raised a question regarding the use of "unjustified" or whether another term "unaccounted for" would better express the idea. I don't know with 100% certainty which term would be most appropriate, and you may need to consider your source document. Is this from Perú or Argentina, or other country?

| Thank you for these important references. The article is from a Costa Rican author. |
| But this is for an international tax review, so we have to provide an equivalent English version not limited to a specific national tax law. |

unaccounted-for/unexplained increase in assets
We've had this before, but I believe the wrong answer was chosen - it doesn't mean 'unjustified'.

Note from asker:
| Yes, and now...why not just "patrimonial increase"? I am trying to avoid to have to choose between the corporate wealth and private wealth terminologies. |
| This reference seems to be still the best answer, but it does not appear as an option, here. I consider this as the best choice. |

: patrimonial is a false friend here, it would only do for an inheritance and even then estate would be better as per last testaments and wills
