Re: Filing due dates for certain partnership information returns
Dear XXXXXXXXXX :
This is in reply to your email of March 17, 2012 with respect to the filing due date for a partnership information return. You have indicated that the partnership is not a tax shelter and that all the members of the partnership are professional corporations throughout the fiscal period of the partnership.
In the circumstances described, a partnership information return is required to be filed pursuant to section 229 of the Income Tax Regulations (the “Regulations”). You have asked for confirmation of the filing due date of the partnership information return.
Our Comments
Subsection 229(5) of the Regulations sets out the date by which the information return referred to in subsection 229(1) of the Regulations must be filed. Based on the information provided, paragraph 229(5)(a) would be relevant. It provides, subject to subsection 229(6), that where all the members of a partnership are corporations throughout the fiscal period of the partnership, the due date for filing the information return is within five months from the end of the fiscal period of the partnership.
We trust the above will be of assistance.
Yours truly,
G. Moore
