Notice of Withdrawal

Taxation Ruling IT 2620 is withdrawn with effect from today.

1. IT 2620 explains that sections 27E and 27F of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (ITAA 1936) provide the basis for determining whether an eligible termination payment consists, in whole or in part, of an approved early retirement scheme payment or a bona fide redundancy payment.

2. IT 2620 is being withdrawn as sections 27E and 27F of the ITAA 1936 have been repealed.

3. IT 2620 has no ongoing relevance and is therefore withdrawn without replacement.
