OBSOLETE REVENUE RULINGS

Published: March 23, 1992

26 CFR 301.78501-1:Rules and regulations

Obsolete revenue rulings. Certain revenue rulings involving the tax on the sale of tires and related articles are declared obsolete.

The Internal Revenue Service is continuing its program of reviewing revenue rulings published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin to identify and publish lists of those revenue rulings that, although not specifically revoked or superseded, are no longer considered determinative because (1) the applicable statutory provisions or regulations have been changed or repealed; (2) the ruling position is specifically covered by statute, regulations, or a subsequent published position; or (3) the facts set forth no longer exist or are not sufficiently described to permit clear application of the current statute and regulations.

This revenue ruling publishes a list of revenue rulings dealing with the tax imposed on the sale of tires by section 4071 of the Internal Revenue Code, which, together with related sections, was amended for certain articles sold on or after January 1, 1984, by section 514(a) of the Highway Revenue Act of 1982, 1983-1 C.B. 405, 411, and section 735(c) of the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, 1984-3 (Vol. 1) C.B. 1, 489. The listed revenue rulings have been identified under the Service's review program as no longer being determinative.

Accordingly, the revenue rulings listed below are hereby declared obsolete.

The Service will continue to review other revenue rulings relating to excise tax matters to ascertain those that, for the reasons stated above, are inapplicable to future transactions. Therefore, failure to include any particular revenue ruling in the above list should not be construed as an indication that the revenue ruling necessarily is determinative with respect to future transactions.
