Administrative Pronouncements Obsolete By Legislative Changes


PURPOSE: The purpose of this Announcement is to identify administrative pronouncements that, while valid when issued, should no longer be relied upon. The Department will declare a pronouncement to be "obsolete" where, because of changes in the law on which a pronouncement was based or because a position that was taken in a pronouncement has been addressed in a subsequently promulgated regulation, the pronouncement is no longer considered authoritative and should not be relied upon for future transactions or future taxable periods. By declaring a pronouncement to be obsolete, the Department intends to eliminate unnecessary research and to reduce the possibility of erroneous decisions by taxpayers and tax practitioners. The fact that a pronouncement is "obsolete" does not affect its past validity or its application to past transactions or past taxable periods. (LSNs, TSSNs and Bulletins are categories of tax information notice that no longer are issued by the Department. AN 91(11).)
