Dear Sir:
Re: Subsection 73(1) of the Income Tax Act (the "Act")
This is in reply to your letter of February 12, 1990 concerning the above-mentioned subject.
We agree with your interpretation that subsection 73(1) of the Act does not require the spouse to be a resident of Canada where the spousal trust which is resident in Canada is the transferee of the capital property in question.
We trust the above comments will be of assistance to you. We apologize for the delay in replying to your letter.
Yours truly,
for Director Financial Industries Division Rulings Directorate
