About this statute

If a company or unincorporated body commits an offence under the Act with a director’s, manager’s, partner’s, or shareholder’s knowledge, consent, or connivance, that person also commits an offence and may be punished accordingly. This section changes the principal Act by replacing the words “fiscal cash register” with “electronic fiscal device” wherever they appear.
