Deceased Persons' Income Tax Guide (1989)
This is in reply to your request of September 13 to review the French draft of the above-noted guide.
We have no serious concerns about the changes (that we could identify) from the 1988 guide; however, we attach a photocopy of several pages that identify some points you may wish to consider.
In addition, we can find no mention of the requirement in proposed (Bill C-28) subsection 80.3(5) that will require income deferred in 1988 as a consequence of the disposition of breeding livestock in a prescribed drought region to be included in 1989 income if the farmer dies in 1989.
