Dear XXXXXXXXXX:
Re: Application of advantage tax rules to investment management fees
We are writing to provide you with an update on the technical position that the CRA announced at the 2016 Canadian Tax Foundation conference concerning the application of the advantage tax rules to investment management fees (2016-067080).
At the Conference we committed to working with the investment industry on this matter. We are currently considering a number of submissions from various stakeholders and will be deferring the proposed implementation date by one year to January 1, 2019.
We wish to thank you for the assistance that you have provided us in our review.
Yours truly,
