Comments
Draft MT 2018/D1 was withdrawn with effect from 4 December 2019. Following recent Federal Court decisions, this draft Ruling no longer reflects the Commissioner's view on the time limits for claiming an input tax credit or fuel tax credit. Further guidance on this and a related issue are being considered.
