It is set out on page 7 of the Farming Income Tax Guide for 1989 that, “under the Advance Payments for Crops Act ... producers of various crops are eligible to receive advance payments on crops stored in their own names from their respective producers' associations” and these advances are considered loans. Although apples are one of the crops eligible under this program XXX is a question of fact whether advances are received under the above Act and it appears that this is not the case. Therefore, it is our view that the advances in question do not qualify as loans under this legislation.

As indicated in the 1989 T1 Guide, taxpayers may request changes to their tax returns within three years from the date the returns were first assessed by writing to the office of Revenue Canada, Taxation specified in the Guide. We suggest that if the growers want to amend their returns for 1989, they follow this procedure.
We trust our comments will prove helpful.
