I misfiled stuff a few times and got fined, it's annoying but it's not something that will break your bank.
The behaviour of the tax office varies quite a lot from country to country tho.
- pocksuppet 7mo agoYes. No country is out here destroying productive businesses because they made a paperwork mistake. The penalty is usually proportionate. But don't trust me, ask your lawyer.
- worik 7mo ago> No country is out here destroying productive businesses because they made a paperwork mistake. New Zealand. The Accident Compensation Corporation, a compulsory insurance scheme, is absolutely feral. Will crush you "because rules" without a thought.
- pocksuppet 7mo agoWhat were the rules you broke, and what was the penalty?
- worik 7mo agoSigh Many an varied I was once charged $1200 for income of $600 Within the rules, could've easily bankrupted me

- stephen_g 7mo agoI can see that happening in Australia, our tax office can be absolutely brutal on all but the big companies that can afford really good lawyers.
- tekla 7mo agoI've misfiled several times due to being young and stupid. Each time I got a piece of mail asking my to call the IRS to clear it up, and every time the agent was nice and very helpful clearing it up, and not fined.
- Duwensatzaj 7mo agoThe IRS used to have a much worse reputation. Congress passed the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 and improved their customer service.
- BigTTYGothGF 7mo agoLast time I misfiled I got a check from the IRS for a couple hundred bucks.
