477.5.6. Where a particular person that is deemed not to have made a supply under paragraph 1 of any of sections 477.5.1 and 477.5.3 to 477.5.5 or subparagraph a of paragraph 1 of section 477.5.2 made a false statement to another person that is deemed to have made the supply under any of those paragraphs 1 or that subparagraph a, as the case may be, and where the false statement is relevant to the determination of whether the other person is required to collect the tax payable under section 16 in respect of the supply or the determination of the amount of that tax that the other person is required to collect, the particular person and the other person are solidarily liable for all obligations under this Title in respect of the supply that arise, as the case may be, because of

(1)  the tax in respect of the supply becoming collectible by the other person; or

(2)  a failure to account for or pay, in the manner and within the time specified in this Title, an amount of net tax or specified net tax of the other person, or an amount that was paid to the other person or applied on account of a refund or rebate to which the other person was not entitled or that exceeds the refund or rebate to which the other person was entitled, that is reasonably attributable to the supply.

Where the other person did not know and could not reasonably be expected to have known that the particular person made a false statement, where the other person relied in good faith on the false statement and where, because of such reliance, the other person did not charge, collect or remit the amount of tax in respect of the supply that the other person was required to charge, collect or remit, the Minister is not to assess the other person under section 25 of the Tax Administration Act (chapter A-6.002) for obligations provided for in this Title in respect of the supply in excess of the obligations in respect of the supply that arise because of the other person having charged, collected or remitted an amount of tax in respect of the supply.
