The new laws took effect from 1 January 2006. See further Tax Laws Amendment (Improvements to Self Assessment) Act (No. 2) 2005 (No. 161 of 2005)).

Taxation Ruling TR 2002/14 is amended as follows:

1. Paragraph 77

Omit 'section 14ZAAL'; substitute 'former section 14ZAAL and section 358-20 of Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953'.

2. Paragraph 78

Omit the paragraph; substitute:

78. The arrangements described in paragraph 77 of this Ruling will also be treated as separate arrangements for the purposes of withdrawal of private rulings made before 1 January 2006. To the extent that this public ruling is inconsistent with a private ruling, the Commissioner will be taken to have withdrawn the private ruling so far as there is any inconsistency and withdrawal is allowed: see former sections 14ZAU and 14ZAW of the Taxation Administration Act 1953 and section 357-75 of Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953.[13]

Footnotes

[13]
Under the former subsections 14ZAU(2) and (4) of the Taxation Administration Act 1953, the Commissioner could withdraw a private ruling if the arrangement to which it relates had not begun to be carried out, except to the extent it related to a year of income that had commenced or ended. The Commissioner, however, cannot withdraw a private ruling issued after 1 January 2006. Instead he can issue a revised private ruling if a private ruling was previously made and neither the scheme to which the earlier ruling relates, nor the income year has begun. (subsection 359-55(1) of Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953).
