Respondent
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
LÉTOURNEAU J.A.
[1] Mr. Justice Dussault of the Tax Court of Canada did not commit any error that would warrant our intervention when he upheld the assessments of the Minister of National Revenue for the 1993 to 1996 years. In view of subsection 18(2) of the Income Tax Act, which limits the deductability of certain interest and property taxes in the computation of business income, the applicant could not deduct her property taxes and her financial costs in relation to the purchase of the land appearing in her inventory since none of her vacant properties was sold or produced income for the years in question.
[2] The application for judicial review will be dismissed with costs.
