Dear Sirs:
Re: Dissolution of a Non-Profit Organization (NPO)
This is with respect to your letter of June 11, 1998 concerning the above subject which was forwarded to us by our Charities Division.
The situation described in your letter would appear to involve an actual proposed transaction. Assurance as to the tax consequences of proposed transactions will only be given in the context of an advance income tax ruling. The procedures for requesting an advance income tax ruling are outlined in Information Circular 70-6R3 dated December 30, 1996 issued by Revenue Canada, Customs, Excise and Taxation.
We have, however, enclosed Interpretation Bulletins IT-409 and IT-496 and the Special Release to IT-496 which we believe will answer your questions with respect to the dissolution of a NPO.
Yours truly
for Director
Financial Industries Division
Income Tax Rulings and
Interpretations Division
