46C: Failure to disclose information required by Director

You could also call this:

“Not telling the Director important information when asked is against the law”

If the Director asks you for information under section 27C(1) or section 27H, you must provide it. If you don’t give this information without a good reason, you are breaking the law. This is called an offence.

If you are found guilty of not giving the required information, you could be punished. The punishment could be going to jail for up to 12 months or paying a fine of up to $5,000.
