10 further full-text translations of CRA interpretations are available

The table below provides descriptors and links for five of the October 2017 APFF Roundtable questions released last week ,and for five French Technical Interpretations released in October 2013, as fully translated by us.

Translations of the full text of the answers of CRA to all of the questions posed at the October 2017 “regular” APFF Roundtable and the October 2017 APFF Financial Strategies and Instruments Roundtable, along with our summaries of those questions, have been available to you for the last six months. The only extra that you are getting now is translations of the full text of the questions posed rather than just summaries of them. We will provide full-text translations of the balance of the October 2017 APFF questions over the next week or so.

These (and the other full-text translations covering the last 4 1/2 years of CRA releases) are subject to the usual (3 working weeks per month) paywall.
