Division 2 - The failure to notify penalty
View history note
Hide history noteThis Division does not apply to a notification of a liability that arises on or after 1 July 2000.
This Division explains how to work out the failure to notify penalty on an amount.
Generally, a person is liable to pay the penalty if the person must notify the Commissioner by a certain time of an amount that the person is liable to pay, and fails to do so.
A person is only liable to pay the penalty if a provision of an Act makes the person liable. (Most of the provisions are in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.)
There are certain provisions of Acts that make persons liable to pay the failure to notify penalty. Subsections (4) and (5) list the provisions.
A person is only liable to pay the penalty on an amount if a provision specifies that the person is liable to pay the penalty on the amount.
8AAJ(3) [Exempt Australian government agencies]The penalty does not apply to exempt Australian government agencies.
Note:
Exempt Australian government agency is defined in subsection 995-1(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
8AAJ(4) [Index of provisions]The following table is an index of the provisions in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 that deal with liability to the penalty.

The failure to notify penalty on an amount is payable by a person for each day in the period that is specified in the provision which makes the person liable to pay the penalty.
8AAK(2) [8% rate]The penalty on an amount is worked out at the rate of 8% per annum of the amount.
The Commissioner must give written notice to the person of:
(a) the amount of the penalty; and
(b) the day on which that amount of the penalty is due and payable, which must be at least 30 days after the notice is given to the person. 8AAL(2) [Specified day]
The amount of the penalty is due and payable to the Commissioner on the day specified.
8AAL(3) [Inclusion in other notices]The notice may be included in any other notice issued by the Commissioner in respect of the person.
A notice given to a person by the Commissioner under this section is prima facie evidence of the matters stated in the notice.
Note:
For provisions about collection and recovery of the penalty, see Part 4-15 in Schedule 1.
The Commissioner may remit all or a part of the penalty payable by a person if the Commissioner is satisfied that:
(a) the circumstances that contributed to the failure to notify, or delay in notifying, the Commissioner were not due to, or caused directly or indirectly by, an act or omission of the person; and
(b) the person has taken reasonable action to mitigate, or mitigate the effects of, those circumstances.
If any of the amount of penalty that a person is liable to pay remains unpaid after the day by which it is due to be paid, the person is liable to pay the general interest charge on the unpaid amount for each day in the period that:
(a) started at the beginning of the day by which the amount of the penalty was due to be paid; and
(b) finishes at the end of the last day on which, at the end of the day, any of the following remains unpaid:

This Division does not apply to a statement, report or form that relates to the 2000-01 year of income or a later year of income.
This Division explains how to work out the late reconciliation statement penalty on an amount.
Generally, a person is liable to pay the penalty if the person must give the Commissioner a reconciliation statement, report or form by a certain time, and fails to do so.
A person is only liable to pay the penalty if a provision of an Act makes the person liable. (All of the provisions are in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.)
There are certain provisions of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 that make persons liable to pay the late reconciliation statement penalty. Subsection (4) lists the provisions.
8AAP(2) [Liability must be specified]A person is only liable to pay the penalty if a provision specifies that the person is liable to pay the penalty.
8AAP(3) [Exempt Australian government entities]The penalty does not apply to exempt Australian government agencies.
Note:

8AAP(4) [Index of ITAA '36 provisions]The following table is an index of the provisions of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 that deal with liability to the penalty.

(a) starts on the day by which the statement, report or form referred to in the provision which makes the person liable to pay the penalty is due to be given to the Commissioner; and
(b) ends on the day before the Commissioner is given the statement, report or form. 8AAQ(2) [$10 per week up to $200 maximum]
The penalty is $10 for each week, or part of a week. However, the penalty for a particular statement, report or form cannot exceed $200.
The Commissioner must give written notice to the person of:
(a) the amount of the penalty; and

The amount of the penalty is due and payable to the Commissioner on the day specified.
8AAR(3) [Inclusion in other notices]The notice may be included in any other notice issued by the Commissioner in respect of the person.
A notice given to a person by the Commissioner under this section is prima facie evidence of the matters stated in the notice.
Note:
For provisions about collection and recovery of the penalty, see Part 4-15 in Schedule 1.
The Commissioner may remit all or a part of the penalty payable by a person if the Commissioner is satisfied that:
(a) the circumstances that contributed to the failure to give, or delay in giving, the Commissioner the statement, report or form referred to in the provision which makes the person liable to pay the penalty were not due to, or caused directly or indirectly by, an act or omission of the person; and
(b) the person has taken reasonable action to mitigate, or mitigate the effects of, those circumstances. 8AAS(2) [Special circumstances]
The Commissioner may also remit all or a part of the penalty if the Commissioner is satisfied that there are special circumstances because of which it would be fair and reasonable to remit all or a part of the penalty.
If any of the amount of penalty that a person is liable to pay remains unpaid after the day by which it is due to be paid, the person is liable to pay the general interest charge on the unpaid amount for each day in the period that:
(a) started at the beginning of the day by which the amount of the penalty was due to be paid; and
(b) finishes at the end of the last day on which, at the end of the day, any of the following remains unpaid:
(i) the penalty;
(ii) general interest charge on any of the penalty.
