CORPORATE MANAGEMENT TAX CONFERENCE
JUNE 1996 ROUND TABLE
Changes In Terms of Debt Obligations
Question
Revenue Canada's Interpretation Bulletin IT-448, dealing with changes to the terms of securities, has been the subject of some controversy and confusion.
Can Revenue Canada provide any guidance as to whether IT-448 fully reflects the Department's current administrative and rulings practice?
Department's Position
Paragraph 7 of IT-448 as currently written provides examples which could or may result in a disposition of a debt obligation.
We are currently revising this bulletin to provide a clearer view on this issue, focusing on the fact that the settlement, extinguishment or disposition of a debt obligation is primarily a matter of law.
