This Addendum amends Taxation Ruling IT 2466 to reflect the changes to the law caused by the repeal of inoperative provisions. | In scheme cases dealt with in accordance with this ruling, it will be necessary to refund or credit the amount of PAYG withholding paid on interest under the scheme arrangement in any case where a non-resident beneficiary is not considered to be presently entitled to the interest income. Action to refund or credit the PAYG withholding to the payer should not be taken until all disputes arising from the disallowance of the scheme have been finally settled.
