This is in reply to your letter of July 18 concerning losses allowed to a limited partner.
You describe a situation wherein a limited partner contributes to a limited partnership property that has a fair market value in excess of its adjusted cost base. The limited partner receives no cash, debt, or other consideration in respect of the property. The provisions of subsection 97(2) of the Income Tax Act are used to presumably dispose of the property for proceeds of disposition equal to its adjusted cost base.
In our view, the amount included in the limited partner's "equity" as used in paragraph 20 of IT-138R in the above situation would be the subsection 97(2) elected amount in respect of the property and not its fair market value.
Yours truly,
for Director Non-Corporate Rulings Division
