JULIE CAMERON considers the differences in the application of old and new penalties for incorrect returns

- Potential lost revenue.
- Old penalty system applies to some years.
- Technical adjustments.
- Deliberate or careless behaviour.
- Possible suspension of penalty.

This article examines how penalties in direct tax cases might be applied in the coming years as well as comparing and contrasting the old and new systems.
