Disposition of Taxable Canadian Property By a Foreign Government
We have enclosed a copy of a letter dated November 16, 1989, and attachments thereto, concerning the disposition of a taxable Canadian property owned by the 24(1) and administered by the 24(1). The solicitors for the 19(1) are requesting exemption from any Canadian tax of the disposition of taxable Canadian property in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
From our review of this request we are satisfied based on the confirmation by the New Zealand High Commissioner that the property relates to a government function and an exemption from tax may be granted under the Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity.
We hope that this is sufficient for your purposes.
