CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION AND CORE PROVISIONS  

PART 1-1 - PRELIMINARY  

Division 1 - Preliminary  

SECTION 1-3   Differences in style not to affect meaning  

1-3(1)  
This Act contains provisions of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 in a rewritten form.

1-3(2)  
If:

(a) that Act expressed an idea in a particular form of words; and

(b) this Act appears to have expressed the same idea in a different form of words in order to use a clearer or simpler style;

the ideas are not to be taken to be different just because different forms of words were used.

Note:

A public or private ruling about a provision of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 is taken also to be a ruling about the corresponding provision of this Act, so far as the 2 provisions express the same ideas: see section 357-85 in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 .
