19(1)Dear Sirs:
We are writing in reply to your letter of September 27, 1990, wherein you have expressed your opinion in regard to the particular situation which was described in our letter to you dated September 7, 1990.
Our opinion remains as stated in our letter of September 7, 1990. In your proposed transactions the provisions of paragraph 55(3)(a) of the Income Tax Act (the "Act") will not exempt the dividends received by Newcos 1 and 2 from the application of subsection 55(2) of the Act. Consequently, the requirements of paragraph 55(3)(b) of the Act will have to be satisfied.
Yours truly,
for Director Reorganizations and Non-Resident Division Rulings Directorate Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs Branch
