Dear Sirs:
Re: Article XXIX B(6) of the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980)
This is in reply to your letter dated December 17, 1998, wherein you requested our views as to whether U.S. estate taxes charged on U.S. marketable securities held in a registered retirement savings plan ("RRSP") at the time the annuitant under the RRSP died were eligible for the credit under Article XXIX B(6) of the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980).
We wish to advise you that we have not been able to provide any comments because the issue has been under review with the Department of Finance. Until the review is completed, we are unable to provide you with the requested comments. Since the review is taking much longer than we anticipated, we will be closing this file for the time being and a new file will be opened when the review is completed.
We trust the above arrangement is satisfactory.
Yours truly,
Patricia Spice
for Director
Financial Industries Division
Income Tax Rulings and
Interpretations Directorate
