Dear XXXXXXXXXX:
Re: XXXXXXXXXX - Amendment to
XXXXXXXXXX (the "Plan")
This is in reply to your letter of XXXXXXXXXX requesting some minor changes to an advance income tax ruling E2000-001768 dated XXXXXXXXXX, 2000 (the "XXXXXXXXXX Ruling").
As a result of your letter, the following amendments have been made to the XXXXXXXXXX Ruling:
1. Paragraph (g) of the Definitions is amended as follows:
(g) "XXXXXXXXXX " means XXXXXXXXXX or an affiliate XXXXXXXXXX.
2. 5 XXXXXXXXXX and is amended to read as follows:
5. XXXXXXXXXX.
3. 11 is amended to read as follows:
11. XXXXXXXXXX fee of $XXXXXXXXXX. This XXXXXXXXXX over the course of the Plan.
XXXXXXXXXX.
4. 15 is amended to read as follows:
15. Subject to 16 below, XXXXXXXXXX for a particular XXXXXXXXXX reaches $XXXXXXXXXX, the XXXXXXXXXX will direct the XXXXXXXXXX to contribute XXXXXXXXXX to an RRSP XXXXXXXXXX for himself/herself, to a non-registered account at the XXXXXXXXXX for himself/herself or to an RRSP at the XXXXXXXXXX for his/her spouse.
We confirm that the changes to the Definitions, Facts and Proposed Plan as set out above will not affect rulings A, B and D given in the XXXXXXXXXX Ruling, and they will continue to be binding on the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (the "Agency") subject to the conditions stated therein. Ruling C is replaced with the following, and is binding on the Agency subject to the conditions as set out in the XXXXXXXXXX ruling:
C. Where the XXXXXXXXXX directs the XXXXXXXXXX to contribute XXXXXXXXXX in the XXXXXXXXXX to an RRSP of the XXXXXXXXXX or the XXXXXXXXXX spouse, the contribution will constitute a "premium" to the XXXXXXXXXX as that term is defined in subsection 146(1) of the Act, and will be deductible in computing the XXXXXXXXXX income for a taxation year subject to the limitations in subsection 146(5) or 146(5.1) of the Act.
Yours truly,
XXXXXXXXXX
