Dear Sirs:
Re: Donations to Registered Charities in Consideration for Annuities
This is in reply to your letter of March 9, 1992, addressed to the Charities Division, requesting confirmation of some of the Department's administrative positions regarding donations to registered charities in consideration for annuities.
We confirm that the position taken in our September 8, 1988 letter is still the Department's view with respect to annuities purchased from charitable organizations. We further confirm that, in accordance with paragraph 3 of Interpretation Bulletin IT-111R, where a registered charity purchases an annuity either in the name of a donor or in its own name with a direction to pay in favour of the donor:
- 1. the amount of the gift to the registered charity will equal the amount, if any, by which the amount of the donation exceeds the total of the annuity payments expected to be received by the donor; and

- 2. no portion of the payments received by the donor under the annuity purchased by the registered charity will be subject to tax."
We trust these comments will be of assistance.
Yours truly,
G. Thornley
