72Q—Reasonable mistake about application of Act
(1) Despite any other
provision of this Part, if the Corporation is satisfied that the reason for an
employer failing to pay the correct amount of a statutory payment is that the
employer believed on reasonable grounds that the employer would not be
required to pay a statutory payment in respect of a particular worker because
that worker's employment was not connected with this State by virtue of the
operation of section 6
, the employer is not liable to pay a fine or penalty interest on account of
that particular failure.
(2) However, if the
employer's belief on reasonable grounds under subsection (1)
was that under section 6
the particular worker's employment was connected with another State, subsection (1)
does not apply unless at the time of the relevant failure the employer had
workers compensation cover in respect of the worker under the law of that
other State.
(3) In this
section—
"State" includes a Territory;
"workers compensation cover" means insurance or registration under the law of
a State in respect of liability for statutory workers compensation under that
law.
