Public Rulings
An authoritative explanation of how the law is applied
Public Rulings set out the Commissioner’s interpretation of the laws that he administers. They may clarify how potentially ambiguous provisions will be applied, or outline circumstances where the Commissioner can exercise discretion to waive certain requirements. Rulings may also list which factors the Commissioner will consider when making a decision, or the evidence required to establish a fact.
Many Practice Directions and Revenue Rulings have been converted into Public Rulings and others are under review.

What do the Ruling numbers mean?
