Dear XXXXXXXXXX:
Re: Request for Advance Income Tax Ruling
XXXXXXXXXX
We are writing in response to your letter of February 11, 2004, wherein you requested an advance income tax ruling on behalf of the above noted taxpayers.
We are currently undertaking a review of the overall advance income tax rulings process. Until this review is complete, we will not be issuing any advance income tax rulings where the issue involves the use of two-tiered limited partnerships to raise capital for existing businesses, with losses from such businesses being allocated to the investors/limited partners. We will make an announcement later this year when our study is completed.
Consequently, we have closed our file on this matter, and your initial deposit will be refunded.
Yours truly,
Wayne Antle, CGA
for Director
Business and Partnerships Division
Income Tax Rulings Directorate
