My dear Colleague:
I am writing in reply to your letter of February 6, 1995, regarding the elimination of the $100,000 lifetime capital gains exemption contained in the Budget of February 22, 1994, in particular, its impact on fishers who may wish to avail themselves of the licence retirement component of The Atlantic Groundfish Strategy (TAGS). Specifically, you asked for confirmation that the full proceeds from the licence retirement can be classified as proceeds from the disposition of an eligible capital property.
I can confirm that any payment to be made to a fisher to retire a fishing licence or other right or privilege to commercially fish, would be an eligible capital amount. Accordingly, fishers will be entitled to use their capital gains exemption, provided the appropriate elections are made when filing their 1994 income tax returns.
XXXXXXXXXX
I trust that this is the information that you require.
Yours sincerely,
David Anderson, P.C., M.P.
