Civil penalty: 100 penalty units per day. (2A) If, under section 11B, 22X, 74AA or 74B, an act or thing is required to be done within a particular period, or before a particular time, and a person fails to comply with that requirement, the person is liable for a civil penalty for each day that the person fails to comply. Civil penalty: (a) for an individual—20 penalty units per day; or (b) otherwise—100 penalty units per day.
