This section also applies to a person if the Commissioner believes on reasonable grounds that the person has information or documents relevant to whether an electronic service is a service specified in the legislative rules for the purposes of paragraph 63C(1)(b) or (6)(b).

The Commissioner may, by written notice given to a person to whom this section applies, require the person to do either or both of the following:

produce to the Commissioner any documents mentioned in subsection (1) or (2) (as applicable), within the period and in the manner specified in the notice.

However, the notice must not require the person to give information or produce documents by summoning the person to attend before the Commissioner or other person.

See Division 4A for the power to require a person to give information or evidence, produce documents or answer questions relevant to a matter mentioned in subsection (1) by summoning the person to attend before the Commissioner or other person.
