What is a Private Binding Ruling?

A private ruling is binding advice from the ATO that sets out how a tax law applies to a taxpayer in relation to a specific scheme or circumstance. It legally binds the ATO if it applies to the taxpayer and the taxpayer relies on it. Private binding rulings are commonly used by accountants looking for fact patterns that may relate to a complex client issue. It’s then either applied as the basis for a statement of advice or to determine if they need to apply for their own ATO Private Binding Ruling for their client.
