2. Si non, est-ce que ces mêmes frais peuvent être déductibles à l’encontre des revenus d’intérêts compensatoires reçus avec les prestations d’assurance-emploi ?

Position Adoptée:

6 April 1999 9906196 F - REEE - SENS DE AUTRE SOUSCRIPTEUR

2 March 1999 9903286 - CHARITABLE GIFTS

Unedited CRA Tags
118.1

Principal Issues: Is a portion of an admission fee paid to attend a XXXXXXXXXX considered a charitable gift for the purposes of sections 110.1 and 118.1?

Reasons: Payments do not appear to meet the accepted definition of gift. May not be voluntary and consideration is received in return.

8 June 1998 9802956 - SALARY CONTINUANCE V. SEVERANCE

Unedited CRA Tags
248(1) 60(j.1)

Principal Issues:
Can the amount of a particular payment be treated as a retiring allowance?

Position:
We will endeavor to clarify our position on the nature of such payments. However, in this particular case we would not object to such treatment.

Reasons:
The description of the amount as a “salary continuation payment” as that term is generally used may be a misuse of the term in the circumstances. The amount appears to be a form of severance payment made in periodic payments over the same period of time in which other benefits from employment continued to accrue. At worst the payments are dual nature payments and optimal treatment should be provided to the taxpayer in accordance with the position established in file 9412254.
In contrast we still have concerns on how to distinguish salary continuation from severance payments where significant employment benefits continue and we must endeavor to clarify our position. XXXXXXXXXX

Summary Under
Tax Topics - Income Tax Act - Section 18 - Subsection 18(9.1)
refinancing through new bond offering not a debt substitution

Principal Issues:
1. Is the “Premium” on the bonds and the debentures not simply an inducement payment to which 12(1)(x) would apply in the hands of the recipient?
2. Can the Premium reasonably be considered to have been made by Opco in respect of the “substitution or conversion“ of a debt obligation (Existing Bonds and Debentures) to another debt obligation (New Bonds)?
3 Does the Premium constitute a penalty or bonus payable by Opco because of the repayment by Opco for purposes of 18(9.1)(d)?
4. Will the Amendments to the Bond indenture and the Debenture indenture result in a “disposition“ of property?

1998 Ruling 9828683 - STOCK DIVIDEND

Unedited CRA Tags
248(1) 52(3)

Principal Issues: What is the "amount" of a stock dividend which has been issued to convert safe income into the cost of shares in the issuing corporation

Position: The amount of the stock dividend is equal to the increase in the paid-up capital of the corporation

Reasons: The amount of a stock dividend is defined in subsection 248(1). Since none of subsections 112(2.1), (2.2) or (2.4) or sections 187.2 or 187.3 apply to the dividend, the amount is equal to the increase in the paid-up capital of the corporation

23 March 1999 External T.I. 9906905 - EMPLOYEE AWARD PROGRAM

Unedited CRA Tags
6(1)(a)

Principal Issues: Taxation of IRAs received by a Canadian beneficiary from a U.S. estate

Position: 1. Subsection 56(1) of the Act does not apply. 2. However, subsection 104(13) of the Act may apply.

Reasons: 1. The Canadian beneficiary under the trust is not a designated beneficiary of the IRA (the Greg case). 2. Subsection 104(13) of the Act applies because the distribution from the non-resident trust to the beneficiary is in the same year of the income inclusion at the trust level. Also, the IRA proceeds triggered an income inclusion for U.S. tax purposes.

Principal Issues: Whether the transfer of title of wholly owned property to joint ownership constitutes a disposition when there is no change in beneficial ownership.

26 March 1999 Internal T.I. 9901777 - INDIAN IN BUSINESS OF TRUCKING.

Unedited CRA Tags
81(1)(a)

Principal Issues:
Whether the income from a trucking business owned by an Indian is taxable. The business consists of hauling and delivering goods from off reserve companies to off reserve customers. The drivers consist of employees and independent truckers, the former who receive XXXXXXXXXX % of gross billings and the latter who receive XXXXXXXXXX % of the gross billings.

Position: The income is taxable.

Reasons:
According to the principles established in Southwind, the off reserve location of the revenue-generating activities of the business would be considered very significant in connecting the taxpayer's business income to a location off the reserve. The activities that did take place on the reserve, i.e., parking and servicing the trucks and scheduling and dispatching loads, were, in our view, incidental business activities and could easily have been done off reserve. It is apparent that the taxpayer has entered the "commercial mainstream," and should therefore be taxed like other taxpayers. However, to the extent that the business income is derived from on reserve activities, it is our view that such portion of the business income should be determined and treated as tax exempt.

Unedited CRA Tags
248(1) farming defn 110.6(1) qualified farm property 110.6(2)

Principal Issues:

1) Whether the activities of seeding, raising, and harvesting shellfish commercially, on a large scale, would meet the definition of “farming” as defined in subsection 248(1) of the Act.
2) If so, then would a tenure be considered “qualified farm property”, as defined in subsection 110.6(1) of the Act, and would a gain arising on the disposition of a tenure by an individual be considered to qualify for the capital gains exemption under subsection 110.6(2) of the Act?

Position:

1) Question of fact whether the activities carried on by a particular shellfish farm operator would qualify as “farming” for purposes of subsection 248(1) of the Act; however, on balance, the activities of growers of shellfish that follow a process whereby the shellfish are seeded, raised and harvested commercially, on a large scale, would likely be considered to be “farming” for purposes of that definition in subsection 248(1).

2) We do not have sufficient information about tenures to determine if they may qualify as “qualified farm property” in subsection 110.6(1).

Reasons:
