Dear Ambassador:

We would like to take this opportunity to send you further documentation dealing with the recent amendments to the Canada- Italy Tax Convention as they pertain to the tax treatment of pensions paid by the Italian Government to residents of Canada.  This information may be useful to you in assisting Canadian residents who are in receipt of Italian pensions.

In order to ensure that all pensioners involved have access to information that could reduce their taxes for 1988 and future years, our department now has a toll free telephone information service to advise taxpayers of the procedures to be followed.  In addition, the attached Information Sheet explaining these recent amendments is available at all district taxation offices.

The toll-free service is available weekdays from 8:15 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. eastern time.  The number is 1-800-263-8530.  An advertising campaign in the Canadian Italian language media, commenced October 27, to publicize the toll free service and the hours of operation.

If you require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Yours sincerely,

C. SavageA/DirectorProvincial and International Relations Division
