Dear Sirs:
Re: Foreign Tax Credits
Request for Technical Interpretation
This is in reply to your letter dated May 1, 1991 in which you requested a technical interpretation regarding foreign tax credits and the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention.
The transactions described in your letter appear to reflect a factual situation and in our view should be handled as an advance income tax ruling request. Should you wish to make another submission in the form of a ruling request we would be pleased to deal with it.
However, with regard to one of the issues raised in your letter we provide the following general comment. When an income property is transferred on a tax-deferred basis to a taxable Canadian corporation and the shares of that corporation are subsequently disposed of, while the nature of the gain on such disposition is a question of fact, the Department would generally presume that the gain on the disposition of the shares is on account of income, especially in the situation where the disposition was contemplated from the outset.
