CRA clarifies what's in a letter granting exemption from s. 116 withholding on real estate inventory sales
27 February 2013 - 8:52am
In IC72-17R6, para. 36, CRA states that it will provide a certificate of compliance to a non-resident vendor of land inventory for purposes of s. 116 stating that there is a "qualified business exemption" if it is satisfied that specified conditions are met. In a recent Technical Interpretation, CRA describes what this certificate (a letter) typically will state, including a direction to the purchaser not to withhold under s. 116.
