A private ruling set out the Commissioner's opinion about the way a tax law applies, or would apply, to you in relation to a specified scheme or circumstance.

The purpose of a class ruling is to provide certainty to participants and minimise the need for individual participants to seek private rulings.

What is self-assessment mean?
The ATO assumes that all the claims for deduction on the tax return are correct, when issuing the assessment notice. Subsequently the ATO relies on audit and post assessment checking 1. Tax lodged. 2. Tax assessment done by ATO for(individual or by company /superfund). 3. ATO audits your tax return.
For returns subject to the self assessment system: * it is assumed the return is correct and all income is disclosed * expenses claimed are all duly entitled * onus is on the taxpayer for the return to be accurate * substantiation requirements have been complied with
SelfAssessment assumes that taxpayers know all the relevant tax laws and regulations, and are therefore able to calculate their own taxable income and level of tax applicable. Full self assessment applies to companies & superannuation funds.
