RE: FOREIGN GIFTS BY A CANADIAN RESIDENT
Dear Sir,
We refer you to paragraph XXI(6) of the Canada-U.S Tax Convention which contemplates the deductibility of gifts made directly by Canadian residents to qualifying foreign charities.
In view of the recently proposed changes to the Income Tax Act which would qualify eligible domestic gifts made in the 1988 or subsequent taxation years for charitable donation "tax credit" treatment, would you kindly advise us to how these changes affect paragraph XXI(6) of the said Convention.
Yours very truly,
