Publication of Advance Income Tax Ruling 3-2398 (the "Ruling")
In your memorandum of May 14, 1991, you requested our view regarding the suitability of the Ruling for publication. The main issue in the Ruling involves the application of subsection 245(2) of the Income Tax Act to a transaction whereby an individual crystallizes the capital gains deduction under subsection 110.6(2.1) of the Act.
While we may have originally recommended that the Ruling be published, the main issue in the Ruling has since been dealt with in paragraph 3 of Information Circular 88-2 Supplement 1. Therefore, in our view, publication of the Ruling is no longer necessary or advisable.
