The Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum has questioned Mr Beddoes' declaration of assets after the Opposition filed a formal complaint about that of Mr Sayed-Khaiyum.
Mr Beddoes says there was an error in the lodgment of a share transfer which he was unaware of until it was highlighted by Mr Sayed-Khaiyum last week.
"There was a transfer of some shares within the family company and a thousand shares that were assigned to me. Mistakenly my partner's name was in the remarks column as being the recipient when in actual fact I was the recipient. I have since corrected it and filed my 2013 and 14 returns and it's been corrected."
Mr Beddoes has hit back at Mr Sayed-Khaiyum saying a company search has revealed nine years' worth of returns for Mr Sayed-Khaiyum's company were not lodged until April this year.
