Frequently Asked Questions
What is 'reasonable cause' for penalty abatement?
Reasonable cause is a legal standard that may excuse a taxpayer from a penalty. It generally requires showing that you exercised ordinary business care and prudence in determining your tax obligations but were nevertheless unable to comply. Examples include unavoidable absence, death or serious illness, or reliance on erroneous advice from a competent tax professional.
Can Act60Review guarantee my penalties will be abated?
No. Act60Review does not provide legal or tax advice and cannot guarantee any specific outcome. Our service is designed to provide a comprehensive, AI-powered second opinion on your compliance, which can help you and your tax professional build a stronger case for penalty abatement. The final decision always rests with the tax authorities.
