Dear Sirs:
In reply to your letter of November 14, 1988, we concur with your position that a guarantee given by a non-resident person in respect of a note, bond or other similar obligation issued by a Canadian resident corporation would not be "foreign property" as that term is defined under paragraph 206(1)(g) of the Income Tax Act.
The above comments are an expression of opinion only and are not binding on the Department.
Yours truly,
for Director Financial Industries Division Rulings Directorate
