(a) your payments are too low a proportion of your annual GST liability (see section 162 - 175);
(b) your estimated annual GST amount is too low a proportion of your annual GST liability (see section 162 - 180);
(c) the varied instalment amount is too low a proportion of your estimated annual GST amount (see section 162 - 185).
