Abstract:     
The New Zealand Commissioner of Inland Revenue issues several kinds of statements that are in effect legal opinions. These are public statements formerly known as “policy statements” and now called “interpretation guidelines”. They are not binding and are issued under the Commissioner’s inherent powers. They are issued when it appears to be desirable to minimise uncertainty. This article addresses the problems that arise for taxpayers and for tax officials from the publication of these guidelines.
