When to use this form

When you want to apply for a legally binding product ruling on a proposed, current, or completed arrangement that is likely to be entered into with a number of people on identical terms. Product rulings are issued when it is not feasible to seek a private ruling on the arrangement (this is generally because the identities of the other parties may not be know), and the characteristics of the taxpayers who may enter into the arrangement do not affect the content of the ruling.

• Applicant’s details and IRD number
• Explanation of the issue(s) in question and a full description of the facts
• Explanation as to why it is not practicable to seek a private ruling
• Explanation as to why the characteristics of the taxpayers who have entered into the arrangement
