Which action constitutes an offence: furnishing false information in any return required to be submitted under this Act?

• A. Furnishing false information in any return
• B. Providing only partial information
• C. Submitting a duplicate return
• D. Submitting information after a deadline

Answer: (A)

Giving false information on any return required by this Act is an offense because the law specifically targets deception in official records. When someone knowingly provides information that isn’t true, it undermines the integrity of licensing, enforcement, and compliance efforts, and the statute treats that act as a punishable wrongdoing. The other behaviors—providing only partial information, submitting a duplicate return, or sending information after a deadline—are typically administrative or procedural issues and do not, by themselves, meet the defined offense of furnishing false information in a required return.
