Miscellaneous Taxation Ruling MT 2049 explained why transfer of deductible expenditure could not be taken into account in calculating Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) instalments.

The Petroleum Resource Rent Tax Assessment Act 1987 was amended by the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax Assessment Amendment Act 2006 . With effect from 1 July 2006, PRRT taxpayers must transfer and deduct transferable exploration expenditure (so far as they can) when calculating their PRRT quarterly tax instalment for each instalment period.

Consequently, for instalments from 1 July 2006, MT 2049 no longer applied (as it was a ruling on the effect of different law). It does not reflect the law now applying on this issue and is withdrawn.
