SECTION 25   EVIDENCE  

25(1)   Assessment to be evidence of correctness of calculations.  

The mere production of:

(a) an assessment; or

(b) a document signed by the Commissioner, a Second Commissioner or a Deputy Commissioner purporting to be a copy of an assessment;

is conclusive evidence of the due making of the assessment and, except in proceedings under Part IVC of the Taxation Administration Act 1953 on a review or appeal relating to the assessment, that the amounts and all of the particulars of the assessment are correct.

25(2)   Copies of documents.  

A document signed by the Commissioner, a Second Commissioner or a Deputy Commissioner purporting to be a copy of a document issued or given by the Commissioner, a Second Commissioner or a Deputy Commissioner is prima facie evidence that the second-mentioned document was so issued or given.

25(3)   Copy of, or extract from, assessment.  

A document signed by the Commissioner, a Second Commissioner or a Deputy Commissioner purporting to be a copy of, or an extract from, an assessment is evidence of the matter set out in the document to the same extent as the original assessment would be if it were produced.

25(4)   Certificates.  

A certificate signed by the Commissioner, a Second Commissioner or a Deputy Commissioner certifying that an amount stated in the certificate was, on the day of the certificate, payable by a person as an amount of surcharge, general interest charge under section 13 or late payment penalty, is prima facie evidence of the matters stated in the certificate.
