Dear Sirs:
RE: CCPC Status of a Corporation Owned by a Trust
This is in reply to your letter of January 14, 1993, in which you request an advance income tax ruling on the above-noted topic.
As advised in an earlier telephone conversation (Major/XXXXXXXXXX), we regret that an advance income tax ruling can not be given. We generally do not issue advance rulings where a matter on which a determination is requested is primarily one of fact and the circumstances are such that all the pertinent facts cannot be established at the time of the request for the advance ruling. In this case the residence status of the trust is very much at issue with respect to the advance rulings requested and we are not prepared to rule on such status.
With respect to your request for our comments on the application of paragraph 251(5)(b) of the Income Tax Act (i.e. whether the non- resident beneficiaries have an absolute or contingent right to the shares) based on the draft Will submitted, no comments are forthcoming.
Again, all the pertinent facts in such a case (e.g. codicils, renunciations by trustees, contestation of the Will, etc.) cannot be established until the probate of the Will.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the writer at 957-2123 or Ken Major at 957-2124.
Yours truly.
