INCOME TAX RULINGS
Nos. 1369-1710, Inclusive
THE INCOME TAX RULINGS constitute a service of information from which taxpayers and
their counsel may obtain the best available indication of the trend and tendency of offidalopinion
in the administration of thei ncome and profits tax provisions of the Revenue Acts. The rulings
have none of the force or effect of Treasury Decisions and do not commit the Department to
any interpretation of law which has not been formally approved and promulgated by the Secre.
tary of the Treasury. Each ruling embodies the administrative application of the law and Treasury
Decisions to the entire state of facts upon which a particular case arises. It is especially to he
noted that the same result will not necessarily be resched in another ease unless all the material
facts arci dentical with those of the reported case. As i ti s not always feasible to publish a com-
plete statement of the facts underlying each ruling, there can be no assurance that any dft case
isi dentical with the reported case. As bearing out this distinction, i t may be observed that the
rulings published from time to time may appear to reverse rulings previously published.
Officers of the Bureau of Internal Revenue are especially cautioned against reaching a con-
clusion in any case merely on the basis of similarity to a published Income Tax Ruling, and should
base their j udgusent on the application of all pertinent provisions of the law and Treasury De.
sins to all of the facts in each cae. The Income Tax Rulings should be used merely as aids
in studying the law and the Treasury Decisions.
