Is the cost amount of an interest in a life insurance policy the adjusted cost basis ("ACB”) as defined in s. 148(9), or the premiums paid? After noting that para. (f) of the s. 248(1) “cost amount” definition referenced “cost”, CRA stated:
[T]he "adjusted cost basis" of a holder's interest in a life insurance policy, as defined in subsection 148(9), can generally be considered a reasonable estimate of the cost of the property for the purposes of the application of the rules of section 233.3.
