RE: Subsection 144(1) Election for XXXXXXXXXX
This is in reply to your routing slip received on July 21, 1999, in which you ask for our advice on what action should be taken with regard to a subsection 144(10) election. You enclosed the election by the above-named corporation and a copy of the Special Release to IT-280R Employees Profit Sharing Plans - Payments Computed by Reference to Profits.
As indicated in the Special Release which amends paragraph 11 of the IT, a subsection 144(10) election is made by a participating employer of an employees profit sharing plan by sending the required documents to the Revenue Canada tax centre serving the employer. We understand that the election is kept with the T2 file of the employer. If an employer has a question concerning the interpretation of subsection 144(10) of the Income Tax Act, we would be pleased to respond.
We are returning the election for the above-named employer so that it may be filed as indicated above.
