63B Amendment of assessment based on election if Registrar asks for information supporting estimate

(1) This section allows the Registrar to amend an assessment of child support payable by or to a parent for some days in a child support period if: (a) the parent has made an election under section 60 relating to the period; and (b) the Registrar has given the parent a notice under section 161 requiring the parent to: (i) give the Registrar information; or (ii) attend before a person and answer questions; or (iii) produce documents containing information; relevant to determining the accuracy of an estimate on which the election is based. (2) If the parent complies with section 161 (in relation to the notice), the Registrar may amend the assessment to affect the annual rate of child support payable by or to the parent for the days in the child support period on or after the day the parent complies. (3) If the parent does not comply with section 161 (in relation to the notice), the Registrar may amend the assessment to affect the annual rate of child support payable by or to the parent for the days in the child support period on or after: (a) the day the election was made; or (b) if: (i) before the Registrar gave the notice but after the election was made, the Registrar had given the parent another notice (the earlier notice) of the kind described in paragraph (1)(b); and (ii) the parent complied with section 161 in relation to the earlier notice; the day on which the parent complied with section 161 in relation to the earlier notice. (4) This section does not: (a) affect the operation of section 161; or (b) prevent the Registrar from making a new assessment for part of the child support period.

Note: This section does not limit the power under section 75 to amend assessments (see subsection 75(5)).
