an employer is not a group member on 30 June in a financial year; and
under section 64 (2) , the employer lodged, or was required to lodge, a final return for a final period during the year, and the employer was not a group member during the final period; and
the original assessment of the employer’s annual levy liability for the year—
was not made by the commissioner; and
was made as required under section 43J (4) ; and
the employer’s annual levy liability for the year worked out as required under section 43J (4) is greater than it would be if the final return wages and final return liability for a final period mentioned in paragraph (b) were included for working out the liability.
Despite section 43J (4) , the commissioner must make a reassessment of the employer’s annual levy liability for the year to include the final return wages and final return liability mentioned in subsection (1) (d) for working out the liability.
In this section—
final return liability means the employer’s periodic liability amount for a final period mentioned in subsection (1) (b) .
