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 administration 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 Department to
any interpretation of the law which has not been formally approved and promulgated by the Secretary 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 rests. It is especially to be noted that the same result will not neces-
eerily 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 distinction, 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 cautoned against reaching 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 per-
tinent provisions of the law pnd 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 regulations and Treasury Decisions previously
issued.
In addition to publishing all Internal Revenue Treasury Decisions, it in t he policy of the Bureau of Ioternal Revenue
to publh all rings and decisions, including opinions of the Chief Counsel for the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, which. becase they aOunce 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 an
to be of general interest. It is also the policy of the Bureau to publish all rulings or decisions which revke, nuiy
amend, or affect in any manner whatever any published ruling or decision. In many instances opinions of the
Chief Counsel for the Bureau of Iternal Revenue are not ot general interest because they    announce
no new ruling or no new construction of the revenue laws but simply apply rligs already made public is certain
situations of fact which are without special significance. It is not the policy of the Borea to publish ouch opinions.
Therefore, the numbers assigned to the published opinions of the Chief Counsel for the Bureau of
Internal Revenueae not consecutive. No unpublished ruling or decision will he cited or relied upon by any ocer
r employee of the Bureau of Internal Revee as a precedent in the disposition of other cone. Unless otherwise
speciieally indicated, all published rulings and decisions have received the consideratiou and approval of the
Cinef Counsel for the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
