Dear Sirs:
Re: Labour Sponsored Fund Tax Credit
This is in reply to your letter of August 31, 1995, wherein you requested clarification of the statement in our letter of July 6, 1995, that only the individual who makes the contributions used by a qualifying trust to acquire approved shares of a labour sponsored venture capital corporation (an "LSVCC") is entitled to deduct the tax credit under subsection 127.4(2) of the Income Tax Act (the "Act").
As stated, it is only the individual who has made the contribution who may receive the credit and the provisions of subsection 146(8.3) of the Act, often referred to as the "attribution rules", do not have any application thereto.
We trust this clarification is satisfactory to your needs.
Yours truly,
for Director
Financial Industries Division
