RE: Status of West German Entity
This is in reply to your letter of March 5, 1984 concerning the above-mentioned subject.
You indicate that Interpretation Bulletin IT-343R gives guidance as to which foreign entities are considered corporations for the purpose of subdivision i of Division B of Part I of the Income Tax Act (the "Act"). Since the abbreviation "G.m.b.h. & Co. KG" is not included in the list in paragraph 3 of the Bulletin (only "G.m.b.H." is there referred to) you request our views on the status of such entity.
We have examined the status of a "G.m.b.H. & Co. KG" and are of the opinion that a KG cannot be considered to be a corporation.
