Rulings document 2001-0066667 - Loan Corporation
This is in reply to your e-mail of October 28, 2010 where you asked us to confirm whether the position in the above-noted Rulings document continues to reflect the CRA's position.
The position in Rulings document 2001-0066667 is that a corporation whose principal business is the lending of money or the making of loans could be considered to be a "loan corporation" for purposes of section 405 of the Regulations.
The position in Rulings document 2001-0066667 was arrived at after consultations with Legal Services and the Department of Finance, and continues to reflect our current position.
We trust that these comments will be of assistance.
Yours truly,
S. Parnanzone
