Dear XXXXXXXXXX:
I am replying to your letter of November 3, 2002, concerning the taxation of employee stock purchase plans. In my letter of July 4, 2002, I indicated that the matter was under consideration by the Department of Finance, but that there had been no decision on whether there would be any changes to the legislation.
I understand that you have also written to Mr. Wayne Harding of the Income Tax Rulings Directorate of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, and that you discussed the current status of the Department of Finance review with Mr. Harding during a telephone conversation on November 26, 2002. As discussed in that conversation, officials of the Department of Finance have received a number of representations on this matter, which they wish to consider. Once their review is completed, we will advise you of their decision.
I trust these actions will be helpful.
Yours sincerely,
Bill McCloskey
Assistant Commissioner
Policy and Legislation Branch
Wayne Harding
