Attention: Mr. K. Harding
Dear Sirs:
Re: Canada - U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980)
We would appreciate receiving your views concerning the application of Paragraph 7 of Article XXV of the Convention in the undernoted circumstances.
During 1986, a Canadian resident, taxpayer makes an outlay or incurs an expense for:
a) advertising space in an issue of a U.S. newspaper or periodical for an advertisement directed primarily to a market in Canada, and
b) an advertisement directed primarily to a market in Canada and broadcast by a U.S. broadcasting undertaking.
In our view, the expenditures would be deductible in computing income of the Canadian resident taxpayer. Paragraph 7 of Article XXV would override the provisions of sections 19 and 19.1 which would otherwise deny the deduction.
We would appreciate receiving your comments.
Yours very truly,
