### sec.471G Prohibition on giving false or misleading documents to self assessor
A liable party to the instrument or transaction must not give the instrument or a document relating to the instrument or transaction to the self assessor if the instrument or document contains information the party knows, or should reasonably know, is false or misleading in a material particular.
Maximum penalty—100 penalty units.
This provision is an executive liability provision under the Taxation Administration Act 2001 , section 140 .
Subsection (1) does not apply to a liable party who, when giving the instrument or document to the self assessor—
tells the self assessor of the extent to which the instrument or document is false or misleading; and
to the extent the party has, or can reasonably get, the correct information—gives the correct information to the self assessor.
It is enough for a complaint against a person for an offence against subsection (1) to state the instrument or document was ‘false or misleading’, without specifying which.
