Issue concerns imposition of penalty for non compliance with statutory notices and the availability of reasonable cause under the tax statute. Tribunal applied the requirement that reasonable cause be supported by contemporaneous evidence and found the medical certificate dated after the relevant notices insufficient; evidence of substantial online income and repeated failure to respond during assessment and penalty proceedings indicated casual indifference.
