Concerned about the way the tax law applies to your personal investment affairs?

Apply for a private ruling


We will review your request and provide you with written advice that provides you with full protection from underpaid tax, penalties and interest in relation to an adjusted assessment . A private ruling only relates to you and will not provide you with full protection where the full facts are not given, or circumstances change.

To obtain a private ruling you must complete an application form and forward it to us. You can use the Private Ruling Application form or call 1300 720 092 to have one sent to you.

Private Ruling Requests can be lodged via the Tax Agents Portal or the Business Portal, for security and timeliness, if you have access to them.
