Footnotes

Under the former subsections 14ZAU(2) and (4) of the Taxation Administration Act 1953, the Commissioner could withdraw a private ruling if the arrangement to which it relates had not begun to be carried out, except to the extent it related to a year of income that had commenced or ended. The Commissioner, however, cannot withdraw a private ruling issued after 1 January 2006. Instead he can issue a revised private ruling if a private ruling was previously made and neither the scheme to which the earlier ruling relates, nor the income year has begun. (subsection 359-55(1) of Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953).
