### sec.762 Failure to comply with requirement about attendance
A person of whom a requirement is made under section 761 must not, unless the person has a reasonable excuse—
fail to attend before the inspector or authorised officer at the time and place stated in the notice; or
when attending before the inspector or authorised officer fail to comply with a requirement to answer a question.
Maximum penalty—500 penalty units.
It is a reasonable excuse for an individual not to comply with a requirement to answer a question if complying with the requirement might tend to incriminate the individual or make the individual liable to a penalty.
However, subsection (2) does not apply if the requirement relates to an incident.
