227EB: Transitional provisions: publication requirements related to RWT-exempt status and certain exemption certificates

You could also call this:

"Temporary rules for sharing information about special tax certificates"

Illustration for Tax Administration Act 1994

You need to know about some temporary rules. The Commissioner can make a list of people who have a special certificate. This certificate shows they do not have to pay some taxes. The Commissioner can also share some information about you. This includes your tax file number and when your certificate starts and ends. When you read documents, some words might have different meanings. This is to make sure the documents make sense. You might see words like 'RWT exemption certificate' or 'exemption certificate'. These words can also mean 'RWT-exempt status' or a special notice from the Commissioner. The Commissioner's notice says you can get paid without taxes being taken out. You might need to show proof of this notice. This is so the documents make sense and are fair.
