Subsection 5000(1)
Administrative Policy
1993 Administrative Letter 9336656 F - Paragraph 5000(1) of the Income Tax Regulations
In response to an expressed concern that a trust or corporation could inadvertently have excess foreign property where it undertook to simultaneously acquire or dispose of more than one property but had to record the transactions at different times because of the way the transactions were actually processed, RC indicated that although the wording of the regulation was clear (the 20% limitation could not be exceeded even for a moment), it recognized that there may be reason to provide relief where simultaneously initiated transactions are recorded at different times due solely to the application of routine procedures.

General discussion of the addition of references to the "second relevant year".
18 April 1995 External T.I. 9500895 - POOLED FUND TRUSTS
The cost amount of a futures contract at the time it is entered into or acquired is equal to the brokerage fees and other costs incidental to entering into or acquiring the contract, and would not include amounts paid as the initial or variation margin.
Exchange-traded stock index futures, bond futures, interest rate futures and commodity futures normally represent marketable securities. Generally, the acquisition of an exchange-traded put or call option would represent the acquisition of a marketable security.
Cash includes foreign currency that is legal tender in the country of origin, and a deposit with a bank or trust company, provided the depositor has the right to withdraw the money on deposit at anytime. A deposit left with a securities broker may be considered as being a cash deposit only if it is left with the broker for no more than one or two days. A margin deposit would otherwise be considered as a debt security and would not generally qualify as a security or marketable security.
