Dear Sirs:
This is in reply to your letter of December 15, 1989, wherein you requested our interpretation of whether or not a lump sum withdrawal from a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) by a United Kingdom resident would be exempt from tax in Canada pursuant to Article XVII of the Canada-U.K. Tax Convention.
It is our position that a full or partial lump sum withdrawal from a RRSP would not be considered a pension for purposes of Article XVII(1) of the Canada-U.K. Tax Convention and, consequently, would not be exempt from tax in Canada pursuant to that Article.
We trust our comments will be of assistance to you.
Yours truly,
for Director Financial Industries Division Rulings Directorate
