Power to require repayment and impose penalty
39 Power to require repayment and impose penalty
The
Commissioner may, by written notice, require an applicant (or former applicant) for a first home owner grant to repay an amount paid on the application if—
the amount was paid in error; or
the
Commissioner reverses the decision under which the amount was paid for any other reason.
If, as a result of the making of a false or misleading statement by an applicant, an amount is paid by way of a first home owner grant, the
Commissioner may, by the notice in which repayment is required or a separate notice, impose a penalty not exceeding the amount the applicant is required to repay.
If an applicant (or former applicant) for a first home owner grant fails to make a repayment required under this section or the conditions of the grant, the Commissioner may, by written notice, impose a penalty not exceeding the amount the applicant is required to repay.
If an amount is paid in error on an application for a first home owner grant to a third party, the Commissioner may, by written notice, require the third party to repay the amount to the Commissioner.
