  (ii)   the trustee of the closely held trust purported to make a correct TB statement about the share of the net income during the TB statement period but the statement was not a correct TB statement because it contained incorrect information given to the trustee of the closely held trust by the trustee beneficiary in whose assessable income the share is included under section   97, and the trustee honestly believed on reasonable grounds that the information was correct; and

  (b)   the trustee of the closely held trust distributed to the trustee beneficiary an amount representing some or all of the share of the net income without withholding an amount under section   254 in respect of the recoverable amount.
