I think GPs point is that the fines are generally not crazy.

I misfiled stuff a few times and got fined, it's annoying but it's not something that will break your bank.

The behaviour of the tax office varies quite a lot from country to country tho.

Yes. No country is out here destroying productive businesses because they made a paperwork mistake. The penalty is usually proportionate.

But don't trust me, ask your lawyer.

New Zealand. The Accident Compensation Corporation, a compulsory insurance scheme, is absolutely feral. Will crush you "because rules" without a thought.

What were the rules you broke, and what was the penalty?

Last time I misfiled I got a check from the IRS for a couple hundred bucks.

I've misfiled several times due to being young and stupid.

Each time I got a piece of mail asking my to call the IRS to clear it up, and every time the agent was nice and very helpful clearing it up, and not fined.
