This Addendum is a public ruling for the purposes of the Taxation Administration Act 1953. It amends Taxation Ruling TR 2001/13 to make changes consequential to the withdrawal of Taxation Ruling TR 2001/12 (capital gains in pre-CGT tax treaties).
TR 2001/13 is amended as follows:

On such an approach, many aspects of the problem are considered simultaneously. The following sections of this ruling explore the nature and consequences of this approach in more detail.
Omit the paragraph; substitute:
