View history reference

129(1) [Penalties imposed under amending Acts]

A sales tax amending Act does not have the effect of making a person liable to a sales tax penalty for any act or omission that happens before the postponed day.

129(2) [Person contravening a requirement]

If a sales tax amending Act would (apart from this section) have the effect of making a person liable to a sales tax penalty because the person contravened a requirement to do something:

(a) within a specified period ending before the postponed day; or

(b) before a specified time happening before the postponed day;

the requirement has effect instead by reference to a period ending at the start of the postponed day, or by reference to the start of the postponed day, as the case requires.

129(2A) [Continuing liability]

View history reference

This section does not relieve a person from liability to a sales tax penalty to the extent to which the liability would have existed if the sales tax amending Act had not been enacted.
