Dear Sir or Madam:
Re: Subsections 48(3) and 107(1.1) of the Income Tax Act (the "Act")
This is in reply to your letter of August 31, 1990 concerning a person who became resident in Canada at a time that he had a capital interest in a non-resident trust.
Where a taxpayer had a capital interest in a non-resident trust at the time he became resident in Canada, it is our view that subsection 48(3) of the Act would apply in determining the adjusted cost base of that interest, and subsection 107(1.1) of the Act would not apply.
Our comments are an expression of opinion only and are not binding on the Department, as explained in paragraph 21 of Information Circular 70-6R2. We trust however that they are of assistance to you.
Yours truly,
for DirectorFinancial Industries DivisionRulings Directorate
