Corrections
The Increasing electronic filing item published in Tax Information Bulletin Vol 30 No 5 contained an error on page 36 in the Key features section.The text reads:
"An investment income payer who does provide their investment income information to the Commissioner electronically is subject to a penalty of $250, due and payable 30 days after the end of the month in which the payer was required to provide the information to the Commissioner electronically".
It should read:"An investment income payer who does not provide their investment income information to the Commissioner electronically is subject to a penalty of $250, due and payable 30 days after the end of the month in which the payer was required to provide the information to the Commissioner electronically."
The Measures to encourage provision of IRD numbers item, published in Tax Information Bulletin Vol 30 No 5, contained an error on page 34 under the heading Joint investors IRD numbers.
This section should have also included the following line:
"This does not apply to a joint investment made through an intermediary that is a company, trust or partnership. These investments should be treated as made by a single investor. A custodian may also adopt this treatment."
