12 further full translations of CRA French-language interpretations are available

The table below provides descriptors and links for another 12 of the 2018 APFF Roundtable items recently released by CRA, as fully translated by us. (In October, we provided full-text translations of the CRA written answers, but only summaries of the questions posed.) The Rulings Directorate made some minor additions to the final version of the answers. In particular, in Q.3 of the Financial Strategies Roundtable, CRA added two paragraphs at the end dealing with the point that an individual cannot be a source individual respecting himself.

The above items are additions to our set of 733 full-text translations of French-language Rulings, Roundtable items and Technical Interpretations of the Income Tax Rulings Directorate, which covers the last 6 years of releases by the Directorate. These translations are subject to the usual (3 working weeks per month) paywall.
