Minor breach protections prevent penalties for trivial, rectifiable tax errors and require opportunity to be heard.
Section 126 precludes penalties for minor breaches - including small-amount tax discrepancies and documentation errors apparent on the record and easily rectifiable - absent fraud or gross negligence; requires penalties to be commensurate with the breach; mandates an opportunity to be heard and specification in the penalty order of the nature of the breach and applicable provision; treats voluntary pre-discovery disclosures as a mitigating factor; and excludes cases where penalties are fixed sums or fixed percentages.
