Taxation Ruling IT 2551 is withdrawn with effect from today.
The Ruling is inconsistent with the legal principles to be derived from Crommelin v. FCT 98 ATC 4790; (1998) 39 ATR 376 and before that decision, from Stapleton v. FC of T 89 ATC 4818; (1989) 20 ATR 996 and FC of T v. Grant 91 ATC 4608; (1991) 22 ATR 237.
A new ruling reflecting the legal principles stated in those judicial decisions is being prepared and will issue in due course.
