Dear Sirs:
RE: Subsection 230(3) of the Income Tax Regulations (the "Regulations")
This is in reply to your letter of May 4, 1993 wherein you requested our opinion regarding the requirement under subsection 230(3) of the Regulations to file an information return in the following circumstances:
A corporation has only one class of common shares issued and outstanding. The common shares will be consolidated on a ten for one basis. The consolidation is effected pursuant to an amendment to the articles of the corporation. There is no change in the total capital represented by the issuer or in the interests, rights, privileges of the shareholders and there are no concurrent changes in the capital structure of the corporation.
We are of the view that no information return is required to be filed pursuant to subsection 230(3) of the Regulations on a consolidation of shares as described above.
The foregoing comment is given in accordance with the practice referred to in paragraph 21 of Information Circular 70-6R2 and is not binding on Revenue Canada, Taxation.
Yours truly,
for DirectorReorganizations and Foreign DivisionRulings DirectorateLegislative and Intergovernmental Affairs Branch
