Subject to subsection (3), the Commissioner may transfer the expenditure that the person failed to transfer.

45C(3)

For the purposes of this Act (other than this section), the transfer is taken to be a transfer by the person under section 45A or 45B , as the case requires.

the Commissioner may, in writing, revoke the transfer and, if appropriate, make another transfer of expenditure under this section.
