Dear Sirs:
Re: XXXX
Your letter to Mr. R.G. McCorkle of our Technical Interpretations Division, dated February 10, 1976, has been referred to this Division for reply.
Employer contributions to an SUB Fund must cease when the total assets of the Fund exceed the "Maximum Funding Level" established by the Plan. As discussed previously, the Department would accept a Maximum Funding Level Provision in the Plan of up to 33 of the maximum benefits that may be paid if all eligible employees were laid off for a maximum period of 52 weeks.
If the SUB Plan provides for it, on cessation of contributions to the SUB Fund, contributions can be paid into a Welfare Fund until such time as they are required for the SUB Fund. However such contributions must be made directly to the Welfare fund and not via the SUB Fund.
Yours truly,
Pension and Profit Sharing Plans Section Department of National Revenue, Taxation DIM/do
