Rev. Rul. 72-623

Revenue Procedure 67-6, C.B. 1967-1, 576, announced a program for the review of rulings published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin before 1953 with an objective of identifying and publishing lists of those rulings which, although not specifically revoked or superseded, are not considered determinative with respect to future transactions.

Consistent with the objectives of that program, the Internal Revenue Service has undertaken a review of certain rulings that were published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin after 1952. The purpose of this Revenue Ruling is to publish a list of post-1952 rulings relating primarily to the administrative provisions area of the Internal Revenue Code which, although not specifically revoked or superseded, are not considered determinative with respect to future transactions because (1) the applicable statutory provisions or regulations have been changed or repealed; (2) the ruling position is specifically covered by statute, regulations, or a subsequent published position; or (3) the facts set forth no longer exist or are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 sufficient to permit application of the current statute. Accordingly, the rulings listed below are hereby declared to be obsolete:

Failure to include in this list of obsolete rulings any administrative provisions ruling published after 1952 should not be taken to imply that such has been determined to have continuing application to future transactions.
