Self incrimination
130B Self incrimination
An individual is not excused from complying with a requirement under section 129, 129A, 130 or 130AA to give information on the ground that doing so would tend to incriminate the individual or make the individual liable to a penalty.
The information given by the individual in compliance with such a requirement is not admissible in evidence against the individual in a criminal proceeding or a proceeding for the imposition of a penalty, other than a proceeding in respect of the falsity of the information, if:
before giving the information, the individual claims that giving the information might tend to incriminate the individual or make the individual liable to a penalty; and
giving the information might in fact tend to incriminate the individual or make the individual liable to a penalty.
