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 Da-
pertnent to any interpretation of the law which has not been formally approved and
promulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury. Each ruling embodies the adrtinls-
trative application of the law and Treasury Dcisions to the entire state of facts
upon which a particular case rests. It Is especially to be noted that the same result
will not necessarily be reached in another case unless all the material facts are
identical with those of thie reported case. As It is not alwaiys 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 ease. 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-
lag a conclusion in any came 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 facts 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 Decisions and all fokmal
Solicitor's opinions, 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 previously 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 construction
of the revenue laws but simply apply rulings already made public to certain situa-
tions of fact which are without special significance.  It is not the policy of the
Bureau to publish such memorandm opinions. Therefore, the numbers assigned to. the
published memorandum opinions of the Solicitor of Internal Revenue are not consecu-
tive. 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 disposition of other
cases.  Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all published rulings and decisions
have received the consideration and approval of the Solicitor of Internal Revenue.
