82 Misleading information and documents (1) A person must not make a statement to a tax officer that the person knows to be misleading in a material particular.

(4) However, no offence is committed against subsection (2) if the person, when giving the document to the tax officer: (a) draws the misleading aspect of the document to the tax officer's attention; and (b) to the extent the person can reasonably do so, gives the tax officer the information necessary to correct the document.
