Superseded Public Rulings
An authoritative explanation of how the law was applied
Public Rulings set out the Commissioner’s interpretation of the laws that he administers. They may clarify how potentially ambiguous provisions will be applied, or outline circumstances where the Commissioner can exercise discretion to waive certain requirements. Rulings may also list which factors the Commissioner will consider when making a decision, or the evidence required to establish a fact. These Rulings have been superseded.

What do the Ruling numbers mean?
Public Rulings are numbered consistently to help you search by Act and section. Using DA009.2.1 as an example: DA = Duties Act, 009 = section 9, 2 = second Ruling, 1 = version 1.
