5-901068Subject: Non Arm's Length Gift of Residual
Interest in Real Estate and
IT-226We are enclosing a copy of the May 31, 1990, letter from 24(1) wherein they requested our confirmation of the income tax consequences of a non-arm's length transfer (i.e. parent to child) of a residual interest in a vacation property using the calculation set out in paragraph 5 of IT-226 .
In our response (copy attached) we advised that the administrative position set out in the IT applies to arm's length gifts to charities only, and could not be extended to the hypothetical situation set out in their letter.
Yours truly,
