The rulings reported In the Internal Revenue Bulletin are for the information of
taxpayers and their counsel as showing the trend of official opinion in the adminis-
tration of the Bureau of Internal Revenue; the rulings other than Treasury Decisions
have none of the force or effect of Treasury Decisions and do not commit the De-
partment to any interpretation of the law which has not been formally approved and
promulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury.  Each ruling embodies the admin-
istrative application of the law and Treasury Decisions to the entire state of facts
upon which a particular ease rests. It is especially to be noted that the same re-
sult will not necessarily be reached in another case unless all the material facts are
identical with those of the reported case. As it is not always feasible to publish a
complete statement of the facts underlying each ruling, there can be no assurance
that any new case is identical with the reported case. As bearing out this distinc-
tion, it 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 reach-
ing a conclusion In any case merely on the basis of similarity to a published ruling,
and should base their judgment on the application of all pertinent provisions of the
law and Treasury Decisions to all the facto in each case. These rulings should be
used as aids in studying the law and its formal construction as made In the regula-
tions and Treasury Decisions previously Issued.
In addition to publishing all Internal Revenue Treasury Decistons and all formal
Solicitor's oplnlons  it is the policy of the Bureau of Internal Revenue to publish all
rulings and decisions, including memorandum opinions of the Solicitor of Internal
Revenue, which, because they announce a ruling or decision upon a novel question
or upon a question in regard to which there exists no previsusly published ruling
or decision, or for other reasons, are of such Importance as to be of general interest.
It is also the policy of the Bureau to publish all rulings or decisions which revoke,
modify, amend, or affect in any manner whatever any published ruling or decision.
In many instances memorandum opinions of the Solicitor of Internal Revenue are
not of general interest because they announce no new ruling or no new construc-
tion of the revenue laws but simply apply rulings already made public to certain
situations of fact which are without special significance. It is not the policy of the
Bureau to publish such memorandum     opinions. Therefore. the numbers assigned
to the published memorandum opinions of the Solicitor of Internal Revenue are not
consecutive. No unpublished ruling or decision will be cited or relied upon by any
officer or employee of the Bureau of Internal Revenue as a precedent in the dis-
position of other cases. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all published rulings
and decisions have received the consideration and approval of the Solicitor of
Internal Revenue.
