When a ruling can be sought
A ruling interprets the GST law for an identified arrangement, such as TOGC qualification or place of supply. Routine refund, documentation and remission enquiries generally use other channels. Hypothetical or contingent arrangements are excluded. A request cannot concern a transaction already reported or a return due in less than a month, even where the relevant input tax was not claimed. Rulings generally last three years and bind the Comptroller only for the applicant specified facts and conditions.
Prepare the request
Submit GST F19 through the stated online form with complete arrangements, agreements, issues, legal interpretation and contrary arguments at least one month before the relevant filing deadline or intended transaction date. Express requests require at least 15 working days and additional fees. The supplier normally applies on supply liability, alone or jointly with the customer. A pending request does not postpone returns or payment. Publication consent and anonymised-summary review follow separate rules; TOGC rulings are not published.
