Question #14
LOSS ON NON-INTEREST BEARING LOAN TO FOREIGN CORPORATION
In view of the court decisions in National Development Ltd. (94 DTC 1061), Floyd R. Glass (92 DTC 1759) and Business Art Inc. (86 DTC 1842), has the Department expanded its administrative position as outlined in paragraph 6 of IT-239R2 to exclude foreign corporations from the application of subparagraph 40(2)(g)(ii) of the Act provided that all of the conditions outlined therein are met?
Department's Position
The Department has not appealed the decisions rendered by the court in each of the above cases and has accepted the decisions only in relation to the facts of each particular case. The Department's position regarding the deductibility of capital losses resulting from a loan bearing interest at less than a reasonable rate remains as stated in IT-239R2. Although the Department has no present intention of extending its current administrative position set out in paragraph 6 of IT-239R2, it will review its position in light of the above decisions.
