Finance Memoranda - Inactive
Memoranda are merely advisory and explanatory in nature, and not declaratory rulings or rules of the Department of Finance and do not have legal force or effect, do not set precedent, and are not binding on taxpayers.
Due to changes in the Law and Regulations or other circumstances some of the following FMs may not reflect current Finance interpretations or may have been superseded in whole or in part by later FMs. We include such FMs because some may find them useful in understanding Finance procedures in prior years. For a list of active memoranda, visit the Finance Memoranda page.
