The purpose of tax penalties is to encourage taxpayers to exercise reasonable care when fulfilling their tax obligations. Penalties may be imposed under certain conditions, such as failing to meet tax deadlines, under-reporting income, or making errors in tax filings.

If you disagree with a penalty, you have the right to request a remission. You can submit a request to the tax authority explaining why the penalty should be reduced or removed.

In some cases, the tax authority has the discretion to reduce penalties based on individual circumstances, such as genuine mistakes, financial hardship, or efforts to correct the issue promptly. It’s essential to provide relevant documentation and explanations to support your case for remission or reduction.
