Dear Sirs:
Re: Paragraph 12(1)(g) of the Income Tax Act (the"Act")
This is in reply to your letter dated March 27, 1995 wherein you requested clarification as to the application of paragraph 12(1)(g) of the Act.
Revenue Canada's views on payments based on production or use are stated in Interpretation Bulletin IT-462. In particular, paragraph 5 of IT-462 provides the rules to be applied when calculating what portion of the proceeds of disposition of property is income and what portion of the proceeds of disposition of property is on account of capital. The situations described in subparagraphs 5(b), 5(c) and 5(d) of IT-462 provide examples of where sections 14 and 38 of the Act would apply to a portion of the proceeds of disposition of property and paragraph 12(1)(g) of the Act would apply to the balance of the proceeds of disposition of property.
It is a question of fact whether proceeds received from a particular transaction would be considered to be as a result of income or capital. This determination can only be made after a full analysis of the transaction, including a review of the relevant documents.
These opinions are our best interpretation of the law as it applies generally. They may, however, not always be appropriate in the circumstances of a particular case. As stated in paragraph 21 of Information Circular 70-6R2 written opinions are not advance rulings and, accordingly, are not binding on the Department.
We trust these comments will be of assistance.
Yours truly,
for Director
