Dear Sirs:
Re: Advance Income-Tax Ruling Request XXXX
We are responding to your October 5, 1988 request for an advance income tax ruling on behalf of the above-noted taxpayer.
The issues on which you have requested advance income tax rulings (i.e. whether the international company will be held liable for taxes owing by XXXX or whether the international company has committee any acts which would make it liable to the penalties set out in subsection 163(2) or section 239 of the Income Tax Act) involve questions of fact. Accordingly, as set out in paragraph 14(1) of Information Circular 70-6R, such matters can not by their nature be the subject of an advance income tax ruling. In addition, we understand that these matters relate to issues which are currently under review by a district taxation office. For these reasons we regret that we are unable to consider your request for an advance income tax ruling.
Yours truly, ORIGINAL SIGNED BY ORIGINAL SIGNÉ PAR
