Preamble

Draft Taxation Determinations (TDs) present the preliminary, though considered, views of the ATO. Draft TDs may not be relied on; only final TDs are authoritative statements of the ATO.

1. No. This expenditure does not meet the requirements of subsection 51(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936. It is not incurred in gaining or producing the officer's assessable income. As the expense relates to a decision, the effect of which is to preserve anonymity and privacy, the outgoing is additionally private in nature.
