Dear Sirs:
Re: Paragraph 7 of Interpretation Bulletin IT-445 and David Scott v. MNR, 89 DTC 218
This is in reply to your letter dated August 28, 1989, concerning the Department's administrative position in paragraph 7 of Interpretation Bulletin IT-445 in light of the court's decision in the Scott case.
The Scott case does not represent a change in the Department's position. The Department will continue to follow the administrative position set out in paragraph 7 of Interpretation Bulletin IT-445 provided the conditions set out in the bulletin are met.
Examples of situations where the Department considers that an undue tax advantage has been conferred on either a shareholder or a corporation are contained in paragraph 8 of Interpretation Bulletin IT-445 .
Yours truly,
for Director Financial Industries Division Rulings Directorate
