Note
If the non-deferred part of a growth areas infrastructure contribution is not paid within the period for payment under section 201SL, a tax default within the meaning of the Taxation Administration Act 1997 will occur in respect of payment of the whole of the contribution that the person would have had to pay if the person had not deferred part of the contribution. Under Part 5 of that Act, the person will then be liable to pay interest and penalty tax from what would have been the last day for payment of the whole of the contribution under section 201SL.
