b.Recklessness as to the operation of a taxation law; or

c.Intentional disregard of a taxation law.

Then we must advise you:

i.    That the statement should be corrected.

iii.   Our responsibility to take further steps if required.

If the statement is not corrected, we may have to withdraw from providing any future services.
