Normative consists of general and repeated rules, they apply for great number of people and we use them until they are changed. Examples are constitutions, law, charter of LTD.

Individual acts are those kind of rules which are for special situation, they are one time rules. Example : dead of fire, order in appointment, order on firing. For example, when I am fired by police it deals only with me, not other people and is done once.  

Since ministry of finance establishes law for everyone, so it's normative. But once you are fired by revenue service it's individual.
